If you don't see ants, then it may be an earth-worm. Something was
living in the pot of a local CP grower and it eat out the center of
some of D.filiformis... Still don't know what it was, but the pot/soil
is gone and the remaining plants and bits have been transplanted.

Pings catch the adults very easily. Drosera (some types) are very
good at getting them also. I'm not sure how to kill the babies.
