Sundew

Sundew belongs to a family of carnivorous plants, characterized by their unique method of capturing prey with sticky, glandular hairs on their leaves. These hairs exude a dew-like substance, luring and entrapping insects, which are then digested to supplement the plant’s nutrient intake, crucial in nutrient-poor environments.
