Dear All,

Over the past few weeks I've noticed that one of my Nep terreriums had
fungus-like white threads on the corners. Under closer observation I saw
that there were little brown spiders sitting in the middle of them. Lately
these little spiders (which have doubled in size) have started building
their webs on the entrance of the pitchers themselves. Is this good or bad?
I would have thought that my supposedly "carnivorous" Neps would have
trapped them. I have been destroying their ugly webs, but they keep coming
back! Help!
