# Hi so went to look at my Venus flytrap Jeff I’ve had him a few weeks…

_Posted by Amy on 2023-09-16_

Hi so went to look at my Venus flytrap Jeff I’ve had him a few weeks and I come to check on him this morning and annoying I didn’t get a photo of it but on one of the stalks saw a tiny transparent worm which after a google search is a nematode and now apparently there are good nematodes and bad ones and before I could think about making the pest evacuate the premises it’s jumped into the soil so what do I do? How do I know if it’s a dodgy one or not don’t want to kill Jeff
