Just found 2 unknown bugs in my nepenthes pot, infestation doesn't seem high for either, but I don't know what they are, so I am very concerned.
1st. Very very small, about the size of these periods, maybe even smaller. Dark colored, either black or dark brown it is hard to say. They like the undersides of the leaves, don't seem to be going after new foliage, like to be towards the base of the leaf rather than the tip. No webs, move slowly. Currently not particularly numerous, no signs of leaf damage or anything else as far as I can tell. If I spray them, they stay on the leaf. Although I have seen what I would call Braille like bumps in the leaves, both new and old, they don't appear to be damage but my other nepenthes don't have them so I'm not sure.
2nd. Only one or two of these as far as I can tell, but they might be underground. About the size of springtails, fast moving, don't hop, ghostly white all over, white as white can be.
So what do you guys think they are, just random bugs or do you think they might be harmful? I need to know what kind of bugs they are to get rid of them properly, but I have never seen either before.
