Summary

[edit]
Description

Occasionally the lamina (leaves) of the drosera change colour to red. When an insect is caught in the sticky tentacles (glandular hairs) the insect is pulled into the centre where shorter glandular hairs have stronger enzymes to absorb nutrients.

Here the red lamina has closed its reaching glandular hairs into the middle.
