This insect eater uses sticky leaves to collect insects. Those ‘drops’ you see are quite sticky – not water at all.
Drosera Capenesis is quite easy to grow. It does require lots of light and loves the Humidity.

You should take this to the Macro H20 group, i assume you’re awaiting approval?
Fantastic capture michelle!
Michelle Legg replied
Thanks Mel – I’m in two minds about that group as technically the ‘drops’ you see aren’t water as such but a sticky drop of some sort to trap the insect that is curious enough to crawl over it.
