Nothing wrong at all, this is perfectly normal on healthy flavas this time of year. It's just a type of fungus that grows off of the nectar secreted by the plant.
don't know about the ping, but that is completly normal for the sarr. Mine actually started turning brown at the top (like started dieing) but is now producing more pitchers. I think it is fine.
a few days ago they were fine all of a sudden most pitchers starting to get brown spots then my ping is getting the same now over night my cobra lilly has got a red spots on it, somethings not right they are all in the same bog and my other cp in the green house are fine also fergot to mention i think my sarra hybrid has simtums to, ill postsome pics tonight, today i potted them all up and put around they garden so if its like a virus or something it will be hard to spread
Thanks for posting more pictures, now that we can more then just the lid, I believe there is something more then just nectar mold.
Can you tell us what your growing conditions are? Have you applied any fungicide?
The sarrs and cobra plant look like they have a form of rust, which is a fungus. Maybe the ping as well. I've never had to treat it, so maybe someone here can recommend a safe product.
If you have any plants that are not infected, move them away from the sick ones.
Josh,
Has anyone used any herbicide (weed killer) in your yard or in a nearby yard? Your pics reminded me of this thread - which has some scary pics... I don't grow pings so I'm not familiar with how they normally look when they die from a fungal infection or bug infestation or nutrient-infested media or .... - but that ping doesn't look so hot ...
i think i now the problem now, i just remembed today my sister clean out the guinea pigs the other day about the same day it happend to the plants, and i ask my mum if she sprayed the hutch with any bacteria killer and she said yes so it must be that. because the hutch is beside my bog.

but i might do a test and find a clean sarracenia pitcher, and spray it with the stuff my sister sprayed it with to see if i get the same effect
