Caught in a trap... by shepherdmanswife

Caught in a trap...

and has had it's life dissolved and sucked out of it by my sundew (drosera)

Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, comprise one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with at least 194 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surfaces. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition of the soil in which they grow. Various species, which vary greatly in size and form, can be found growing natively on every continent except Antarctica.

Great capture. Is there any reaction if a person brushes against one of these? Or does it just secrete the digestive juice once it captures something?
