Hi all:

I just observed something different inside the pitcher of a Sarracenia
Purpurea (serious posting this time). There are a bunch of little
squiggly things, that look like hypens, swimming around on the surface
of the water inside the a pitcher. They are about the size of a
pin head. I was told these will not cause a problem for the plant.
What are they, and will they cause a problem for me or other plants in the
greenhouse?
