Sundew
Fogged by steam in a hothouse it is easy to miss the unmissable. These tender fronds are spring-loaded traps. The sweet nectar there to lure an unsuspecting fly to its mortal end.
This is nature red in tooth and claw chlorophyll* in such innocent, curling leaves and gentle tickling hairs.
*With apologies to Alfred, Lord Tennyson
