Well i don't think so Ali.......Probally all the pitchers are fine.Like Cindy said its better to feed the older or half dying pitchers..Not sure why but from what i see is that even though you overfed or anything and the pitchwer will die but since its already drying up it will die anyways.

Spot on, Ken. If you feed old pitchers, when the fish pellet rots you can just cut them away. Oh, when I say old pitchers I mean the ones which are starting to turn brown or half brown....not the ones which are completely dead.

SIDE-TRACK QUESTION:

I killed a bee last nite and i stuff it into one adult pitcher, is it safe? Sometime I also kill some mosquito that attack on me & I feed them to the pitchers too.

Bees don't sting neps, they sometime chew through it. Don't worry it is good. Any insects will do.

Cheers
