Sundews
 Sundews have leaves covered with hairs. The tips of these hairs are covered with a glistening, sticky substance that traps insects. The plant can slowly roll up it’s leaves bringing more hairs into contact with the prey, forming a pool of digestive liquids around the victim. They are called sundews because the small drops look like dew that glistens in the sun. Some have long threadlike tentacles while others have short arms with pads on the ends. The glistening “dew” is very sticky. The hairs will often be covered with gnats and mosquitos in the summer. The sundews with long tentacles will have dozens of them with hundreds of victims. |
