Hi Neal and list,

I would probably guess fungus gnat larvae. I have actually observed them
on the surface of the soil chewing on my CP's. I believe there are certain
bacteria that you could buy which destroy their intestines, but another
list member would have to provide the details. Pyrethrin works great on
other houseplants, however I haven't ventured trying them on CPs.

Good luck,

Paul Burkhardt
