Sundew with Damselfly Prey
Sundews (genus Drosera) lure, capture, and digest insects using sweet, sticky tentacles covering their leaf surfaces. Tentacles and leaves can even move to wrap around a trapped insect. Although most of their prey consists of small insects such as flies, bulkier insects with large wings are also caught.
