Sounds like he was taking revenge for all the millions of adult gnats
that are digested each year by butterworts, when you think about it it's
quite a clever method of self preservation on his part, it insures
they'll be no sticky leaves on the surface waiting for him after he
pupates.
A eats B in the adult stage, and B eats A in the juvenile stage, one of
nature's perfect circles.
Now, if the glow of nature's miracles begins to dim as you observe this, you
might want to reach for man's chemicals...:-)

P.S. You could also try Hypoaspsis mites but I don't know how they'd fare
around CP.
