I really dig it when something gets eaten up LARGE by D.capensis, the twisting and wrapping of the petioles is darn cool Nice pic David!

I never saw the bug but I think it was a fly. I can't say for sure as only saw the bug as shown in the photo so I guess it could have been a beetle but I'd put my money on a fly.

This is so cool! Animation So for all those folks who has never seen a south African sundew at work... curlingguy has it here for you! And how fast does this sundew capture it's prey? Grow one and find out for yourself. ...uh...there is one warning though... when you grow one, you may end up with a couple of hundred in a year

yeah, that IS wicked, thanks for posting that CG, an excellent thing to have posted, especially like David says, for those who haven't seen it, the animation makes it WAY more dramatic

good animation. I actually have a small guy in my terrarium. Looked really bad whenn I put him in. Now he is all recovered. Still no dew though...maybe becos of low humidity and I always top water becos I cannot do bottom water and the vft's are fine with top watering. I guess he just has to live like that...and that guy is.... ///however, I'll make sure he doesn't spread out too much.
