    NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO! Small white bugs have killed my butterwort. It disappeared about a week ago, when I watered it, thinking that some leaves were just buried,(only one leaf was showing) but when I watered it, the leaf drifted away! The soil had been collapsing, so I dug up the bulb, and it was half eaten!!! This is terrible! If you have problems with small bugs, about 1mm long, then I suggest getting them out ASAP!!!!!!!

    How do you get them out? I have more than thousand of them? They don't seem to be doing anything to my palms but maybe they will.

    Seems to be an epidemic lately. Most likely they are springtails. Your description sounds like them. Root mealybugs are larger.
