Hi all,
I've got some plants that I grow outside and I have been noticing that my D. Binata's are catching ridiculous amount of bugs, it's almost as if the plants are attracting the bugs. There are two types of bugs that I have noticed. A small sized fly and another type of flying insect. I've got a few other drosera growing along side my Binata's but for some reason the bugs favour the Binata's.
My question, could all these bugs getting stuck to the leaves cause the leaves to die? I have noticed that some of the leaves look like they got burned where the bugs are attached and some of the leaves that have not even fully unfurled have died as well. I have seen Beta fish food burn Drosera before but it's the first time I see bugs doing it as well.

Thanks.
