Sundews are a type of carnivorous plant belonging to the genus Drosera. They are known for their unique, sticky glandular hairs that resemble dew drops, which attract and trap insects. Sundews thrive in nutrient-poor environments, such as bogs and wetlands, where they supplement their diet by digesting captured prey. These plants come in various shapes and sizes, with some species featuring rosettes of leaves while others have elongated stems. Sundews are found on every continent except Antarctica, showcasing their adaptability to different climates. Their fascinating hunting mechanism makes them a popular subject of study in botany and ecology.
