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?

Your description sounds like mine I have around a pond waterfall, when
it gets too wet. I move it so there is not any water splash on the
plant and the new growth seems fine.
