its really blurry mate, but its probably a species of moss, you can remove it from the pot if youd like.
what is your growing media that your using?
 
Unfortunately your photos are so out of focus that they could be showing an alien invasion from outer space. ???
 
hi guys umm i kno its so close the suff was small so i had to move so close to plant pot this is why the picture sucks kristoff i have only just planted my seeds and its in a propgator isnt moss good for my vft anyway ? keep it moist if it is moss that is i can take a picture further out if you want pls get back to me :)

It's probably just some harmless moss. My pots get moss and algae growing in them, but I don't see anything wrong with my plants. You can pick it out if you don't like it, but it will probably grow back.
 
Hmm why not use your camera's macro function for upclose shots?
Also i wanted to know what your planting media. peat/perlite? peat/sand/perlite?
and if your trying to germinate them in normal incandescent how lighting, it wont work.
Flytraps are full sun temperate outdoor plants, native to a small area in southeastern North Carolina and Northeastern South Carolina
 
i know kristoff i am using these seeds to grow inside in a propgator on a window sill im not sure what the soil i am using is it looks just like medium soil with the white stones for helping breathing when i bought this soil it said venus fly trap &sarracenia compost as at the time i didnt have the money for sphangum moss and stuff if this is moss growing isnt it good for it ? also i was not sure about the camera shot as it wernt my cam was hard to use hehe the white rocks are perlite i think if im correct i will post a picture here later
 
Provided the party selling the compost knows what they are doing your mix appears to be Sphagnum peat moss and perlite or pumice. If it has sand and vermiculite also it is ok to use. As long as there are no fertilizers added.

All sorts of mosses, grasses, ferns can grow in peat moss. Mosses are impossible to get rid off but you may have to control their growth by trimming or removing to keep from overgrowing your seedlings.

Algae you can usually ignore but may be an indicator of nutrients in your potting mix.
