Here is an Australian sundew that really does the carnivorous little beast justice. —MN alchymista: These Australian sundew plants (Drosera stolonifera) may look innocent, but in reality they are one of the most cleverly disguised carnivorous plants. Bugs are attracted to what appear to be drops of dew to satiate their thirst, only to be trapped in the sticky decoy tentacles.(Photo via National Geographic)
