Dinner time.

These are strange little SunDews which form tall stalks and have sundews all the way up them. Good for catching fly-by's I guess.

Great bee shot!

@olivetreeann Hi Ann. This fellow would probably like to be a bee - he might be strong enough to escape then. He's actually a mosquito and if you look closely you can see that his front feet and his back end are stuck onto the little droplets of the SunDew. He'll be gradually digested and absorbed by the plant. Sort of funny that they are so cute but have such horrific digestive habits. :) Thanks again for having a look.

@robz Didn't look close enough to notice the misquito trying to escape the sticky inside of the plant. Ooops!

Amazing plants!!

[Rob Z]

@olivetreeann Bit distressing anyway - probably better not to look too closely! :)

@dkbarnett Very true - and they look lovely backlit - they just glow. But they are a bit yucky too....

Cool and excellent shots. Love these plants. Used to have them in a terrarium at one time.

@netkonnexion Hi - thanks for having a look and leaving an encouraging comment. I can see how they would be good in a terrarium - really interesting. Cheers

Great shot

[Marloes]

Exciting plants. So much lovely color in this pic.

[Taffy]

An amazing mosquito capture! And against some intriguing background flowers too.

@photobird Thanks Marloes and photoBird - I appreciate your comments

@taffy Hi Taffy - thanks for the positive comment. These aren't the flowers - these are the carnivorous plants. They catch and eat the mosquitoes etc - so this poor guy is slowly on his way out - digested by the juices in the sticky drops! All pretty gross really! They do flower as well - a lovely tiny pink cup like flower. Very bright - just like their greens. Thanks for having a look. Cheers Rob

@stimuloog Sorry Marloes - forgot your tag in the earlier reply! Thanks for having a look!

You came up with a great DoF here. You also got really cool bokeh.

@granagringa Thanks for pointing out the background effect - I'm always so involved with getting it focused that i don't notice the background. I think I am lucky that my camera does the macro photos very well. Cheers Rob
