Default Venus Fly Trap being eaten

Something is eating my Venus Fly Trap. I don't know what it is. The existing
leaves are being eaten and turning yellow then dying, the new growth is
coming up red but then turning black before the traps have a chance to open.
I can not see anything living in the pot. Is there anything I can do to kill
this pest?





Venus Fly trap is sensitive and temperamental. It needs full sun,
high humidity, damp soil. Use distilled or rainwater, no fertilizer,
avoid teasing/feeding the traps. I'm wondering if this plant will do
well on the edge of my spring-fed pond, east TN.
