I don't know what this is. I took pictures from the 3 latest pitchers of my spotted tentaculata. Looks like its getting bigger with each new pitcher (shudders). I wonder if it can move this "thing" it's growing!!?!
Has anyone seen this before
With the "feeler hairs" around the protrusion, I would say what you have is a Nepenthes x Utricularia hybrid. The protrusion is obviously the main trigger hair....
I had pics somewhere of a goofy "prong" like that which appeared on my N. eustachya for 3 or 4 pitchers and then never again in 2 + years. My occurance happened in the hot summer months. The prong mine made was bigger and twisted like a unicorn horn! It looked like about six teeth twisted into a prong. I thought maybe I had struck cultivar gold with a rather plain Nep: N. eustachya Unicorn! Unfortunatley whatever it was burned itself out. Guess I liked it too much!
I posted the pics ages ago asking the same question, nobody seemed to know what it was then either. I'll see if I can find the pics again.
