Last year I had some kind of beetle being attracted to my Sarracenias.
They resembled some sort of small long-horned beetle. They would be
attracted to the pitchers, fall in, and then chew their way out. Many of
them managed to chew a hole large enough to get their head through, but
once the head popped through then they were stuck, because they couldn't
reach back and enlarge it enough to get the body out. It was rather
macabre looking, as several pitchers had more than one set of wriggling
beetle antennae waving out the sides. I doubt that the Tenebrio beetles
would do this; it just reminded me....:)
