What is wrong with my Sarracenia?

Hello! There are some things that are on my Sarracenia that worry me. Could you please ID them and help me find a solution to get rid of them? Thanks!
Preferably home-made solutions.

Bumps & and Twirly Pitchers on S. x 'Ladies in Waiting'

Black spots on S. flava, almost like nectar glands on Nepenthes

Thanks in advance! :)
 
Fly turds. It's not unusual for the first few pitchers to be lame looking, however examine closely for the usual suspects - aphids, mealy bugs, thrips, or mites.
 
Eww! That's fly poop? I touched it so many times. XD
Thanks, I'll watch out for parasites, but it's likely not, I got both plants from two very reputable vendors (Andy and other guy. :p)
 
Okay, the S. x 'Ladies in Waiting' pitchers are straight now. Seems they needed light. The pitcher still has the bump, but it looks more like a pitcher defect now.
Thanks!
 
My 'Ladies in Waiting' has produced two curly, helter skelter pitchers too!

Happens sometimes - they should settle down for the next pitchers.
