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?
Creepy
