The round-leaved sundew is a special plant that catches tiny bugs with its sticky leaves! It looks like it has little drops of dew on it, which helps it trap its food.

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The round-leaved sundew has a flat rosette of small, reddish-green, spoon-shaped leaves. Each leaf is covered with sparkling, sticky red tentacles that trap small insects. Tiny white flowers grow on a slender stalk above the leaves.
