Those \"dewdrops\" are actually sticky digestive mucilage: when an insect lands, it sticks fast, and the leaf slowly curls around its catch. Sundews are tireless little hunters, especially of fungus gnats and fruit flies, and endlessly captivating to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif;font-size:1.05em;line-height:1.8;margin:0 0 16px;background-color:#e7f3ea;border:1px solid #bfe0c8;padding:14px 18px;color:#1f5130;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe One Rule That Matters Most — water:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivorous plants evolved in nutrient-poor bogs and are extremely sensitive to the minerals in tap water, which will slowly kill them.
