Sundew

Sundews are members of the genus Drosera[?], consisting of about 90 species of small carnivorous plants from Province of Cape (South Africa), with active flypaper traps. The leaves have stalks with drops of sticky stuff at the ends; insects get stuck and tangled, and stalks elsewhere on the leaf bend toward the captured insect.
