There are some weird deformities on my Sarracenias and they are probably caused by a pest. For over 2 months they are infested with some kind of white mite that I thought it was predatory and haunted other pests. They crawl around new growth mostly and they don’t produce any webs. I thought that they are fast but they are as fast as thrips when scared. I haven’t seen any other creature on the plants only them and they seem to multiply. I don’t think they are predators. But the damage is so little with how many of the mites exist. What do you think? Are these deformities from the mites or from something else? Also the deformities existed from when the pitchers where still developing.
