Drosera glanduligera, pimpernel sundew, has remarkable traps. It has short sticky tentacles, like other sundews, and longer ones that aren not sticky. If a prey gets near those longer tentacles, it triggers a touch-sensitive longer tentacle, and then gets catapulted into the trap Inside the trap, the prey will be digested by the sticky tentacles. The movement is so fast, that an ordinary camera canoot capture it. You need a super-fast camera, and then watch it in slow motion. Poppinga S, Hartmey
