Sundew Death Trap

Sundew is a carnivorous bog plant that traps insects with sticky fluid and then "eats" them to provide nutrients it can't get out of the poor bog soil. I have been looking for this plant, and found it today, complete with two victims. Can you see the second smaller bug that got trapped?

Wow, that's some plant. Never heard of that one. Great capture. Think I see the other but, but not totally sure. Will wait and see if others pinpoint it.

Is he down there near the bottom? What a cool looking plant - is he native to your area only? Would love to spot one of those someday!

Stunning capture Anne...I think I see the 2nd one on the right towards the bottom.Fav

Amazing.

@happysnaps That's right. It's a little bit up from the bottom on the right half.

@milaniet Looks like there might be some in your area, but it is a fairly rare plant everywhere, mostly in bogs and other specialized habitats.
