EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the incredible world of the Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) as it thrives on the lowland heathland of Hothfield in Kent, England. The leaf of this fascinating plant is adorned with glandular hairs and sticky mucilage that serve a very unique purpose. With its vibrant green color and delicate structure, this carnivorous beauty lures unsuspecting insects into its clutches. As these curious creatures land on the leaf's surface, they become entangled in the sticky trap set by nature itself. It's like a botanical spider web! The Round-leaved Sundew belongs to the Droseraceae family and is commonly found across Europe. However, it truly shines in its natural habitat amidst the picturesque heaths of Hothfield Heathlands during sunny July days. This remarkable image captured by FLPA/Robert Canis showcases not only the intricate details of each hair and droplet but also highlights how nature has equipped this plant to survive in nutrient-poor environments. So next time you find yourself wandering through English countryside or exploring European nature reserves, keep an eye out for these insectivorous wonders! But be warned - getting too close might leave you stuck in their mesmerizing embrace!
