This carnivorous plant grows in a rosette. The long, narrow leaves are covered with bright red hairs, or tentacles, which secrete a sticky juice which lures flies and other insects.

Fooled into mistaking the glistening liquid for nectar, bugs are attracted to them; as soon as the bug lands it is stuck, and the leaf folds up to hold the insect. Sundew produces a digestive enzyme that breaks down protein from insects so that it can be absorbed by the plant.
