Um what the sigma🥺

[@emilybrackett2840]

@@Victor11193 sundews are my favorite carnivorous plant.

[@vineousvondrake2456]

if I'm remembering right I think I watched or read something a few years ago that said that they found fossils of this plant in amber from millions of years ago or at least something similar to it

[@khadijamalik8558]

Then how does it digest them. The goo on the tendrils must have some enzymes but the sundew doesnt totally encapsulates the prey like a venus fly trap. So how does a sundew prevent the prey from escaping or its digested juiced from leaking

[@tissueaddict2033]

Iirc, their "dews" are sticky enough to trap their target prey which are very small insects. Prey gets trapped by one tendril, the plant senses it and proceeds to have all near tendrils fold over to where the source is. Then the leaf curls like what is shown in the video to cover the prey in all directions. After a while, they would secrete the digestive juices from where the sticky substance is also secreted. Prey is essentially submerged in digestive slime at this point.

@@tissueaddict2033 cool thx

[@maayatheperson9635]

The mucilage is extremely sticky and will stick to the prey. Once the prey has too many of the tendrils stuck to it, it's basically too late. They are surrounded by the goop and they cannot escape. It's like a glue trap that also eats you alive

[@Joshua.26]

Amazing

[@casesoutherland4175]

Actually they can tell whether it's prey or not. Any substance that has nitrogen triggers a reaction. That's why carnivorous plants are carnivorous in the first place; the soil is poor in nitrogen.

[@user-zd5ch8xo2c]

what does that look like tickle

[@MysticLGD]

Oo sticky plant

[@Hailstonepie]

Is it a plant ?
