There's a Blob on your eye...

In a S. Judith Hindle pitcher, a little white blob can be seen crawling across a fly's compound eye.

This is one of the creepier things I've seen inside pitcher plants, until a few days later...

Somehow, things managed to get creepier.

4 days later, the fly has died and the little white blobs are starting to eat it.

Several blobs are hanging out on the fly's proboscis.

Maybe it's tasty?
