Sticky Sundew - Nature's Sneaky Insect Trap in the Austrian Alps!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Get ready to be amazed by this incredible print capturing the Round-leaved sundew, a cunning carnivorous plant found in the breathtaking Nordtirol region of the Austrian Alps. With its glandular hairs glistening under the July sun, this little beauty showcases its deadly strategy for catching unsuspecting insects. Like a master hunter, each sticky droplet on the end of these glandular hairs acts as an irresistible trap for any curious insect that dares to land. The moment an unfortunate bug touches down, it becomes entangled in a sticky embrace from which there is no escape! Talk about being caught red-handed! This extraordinary plant belongs to the Drosera rotundifolia species and has earned itself many nicknames such as common sundew or roundleaf sundew due to its unique rounded leaves. It's truly fascinating how nature has equipped this seemingly innocent vascular plant with such deceptive powers. So next time you find yourself wandering through Tyrol's picturesque landscapes, keep an eye out for these captivating carnivorous plants lurking among their green surroundings. But don't worry; they won't pose any danger to humans - only those tiny insects who dare cross their path! Kudos to photographer Nick Garbutt for capturing this mesmerizing moment and allowing us all to marvel at Mother Nature's ingenuity through his lens.
