Hard to tell from the pic. Is there any way to get a clear shot? From what I can see, I'd guess mealybug.
 
Hmm I believe it's actually a form of whitefly. I would have to look that one up to be certain.

In any case.. spray!! Preferably with something systemic cuz it's killing your plant big time there ;<
 
Spray your nepenthes with a water-based insecticide, such as Systemic Insect Killer by Ortho.

Yeah it's a cell phone pic. The plant does have two new growth points coming from the stem. Do I just spray it one time or every few days?
