Sundew (or Drosera) is a beautiful carnivorous plant. This image is an extreme macro shot of the sticky tentacles of this plant. As soon as an insect hits the flower, the tentacles will fold themselves around the poor beastt and it will be digested alive by the enzymes present in the sticky fluid droplets.

One of the plants of wet moorland, moist streambanks and boggy places, the Sundew is an insectivorous plant which derives its nourishment by trapping flies and then digesting them. Oblong-leaved Sundew is less common than Round-leaved Sundew but is similar in having hairs covering its leaves, each hair ending in a sticky blob which glues the insect to the leaf irrevocably.
