The Drosera

The Drosera is a plant that eats insects. The small hairs on the Drosera's leaves produce a very strong glue.
When an insect  comes near, it gets  stuck to the leaf and becomes trapped. The Drosera then pushes the insect towards the middle of leaf. The leaf closes and the plant begins to eat the insect while it's still alive!
