The sundew (Drosera aliciae) is a carnivorous plant that lives in areas such as swamps, bogs, and marshes. They need a moist area that's not too wet with a lot of sunlight. Different species of sundews can be found on every continent except Antarctica. There are at least 194 different types of sundews. This plant has a constitutive defense, they have a sticky gel that looks like dew on the surface of their leaves which is used to to trap insects. There are enzymes in the gel that breaks down the internal organs of the insects which allows the sundew to absorb the nutrients. They feed on insects because the soil that surrounds them is usually acidic and nutrient-poor.
