Butterwort

I think this is my favorite species of carnivorous plants.  I like the way their usually plump leaves  form little rosettes.  The leaves have a shiny or oily look  and can slowly roll up to form a concentrated area of digestive fluids to help it dissolve the prey.  Usually it catches very tiny gnats and such that stick to the leaves. They have really pretty flowers.
