Day 226/23. Enjoying a meal.
One of my very sticky sundew plants enjoys digesting a tasty fly. The little balls of liquid at the end of the tiny stalks are really sticky. When they sense a fly stuck, the leaves fold over and trap the hapless insect. It is then digested over the course of a few weeks.
Don't worry, this sundew is only about 8mm across the leaves. We are safe from them.
Latin name - Drosera Capensis.
