Terrible thing was occured with my Nep!
 

Hi all,
Yesterday i found many debris of pitchers were eatten by something and from my observed every pitchers had feeding insects(from my feeding) were bitten. At first i think it's cause of snail but it's too fast and selectively to eat the insects inside the pitcher(leafs and stem are safety, no plant relocated). May it be rat? What do you thing(or suggest me)?

Sample of pitchers N. Exotica lady (left) and N. ampullaria (right).

Oh! yes, my home have one squirrel family on mango tree. It's may be muderer.:scared:

very unfortunate for us...i got a clan of them...plus a jungle nearby...that's why I'm starting cp very slowly after what had happened to my lime trees(all fruits were half bitten)

Mine happend when the rambutan season was over, since most of my neps were either right under and beside the rambutan tree, it started to go after my pitchers.... :crying:

First when they bring out to my mango tree, they were start to stolen coconut carp from orchid pot to made their nest. It's very annoying.:thumbdown:

Sad...Lucky i live in a condo..Nothing can actually attack it other then birds..But so far none...

Nice neps BTW...Where did you get that truncata from? And that mirabilis almost looks chaniana-ish

Re: Terrible thing was occured with my Nep!
 

Same as me.....They 'choose' pitchers to attack?:confused:

I hate those pesky animals. My problem is mealy bugs. They just won't go away sometimes. They made my byblis die but not before I collected thousand of seeds.
