Sundews are one of the most beautiful and most deadly of all carnivorus plants. What they do is lure their pray in with sweat smelling nectar only to discover that nectar is really a sticky drop of goo. The insect is trapped, the hairs of the sundew are closing in, they've wrapped they're tentacles all over it and are now slowly digesting it alive!!! Pretty cool huh?!
