A few of the lids on the monkey cups have dried up. does this mean the cup is dead?

Answer
Hi Ted,

It looks like you just found a Nepenthes x deRoose's alata, (It would be labeled Nepenthes alata) at a store.  The transtion from store, to home has it adjusting.  You will have some pitcher loss.  It's normal.  Just keep it watered, and in that nice sunny window, and give it time.  

For more information on growing Nepenthes and other tropical pitcher plant consider our volume #3 DVD:  http://www.cobraplant.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=38&products_id=...

Good Growing!
