Slender-Leaved Sundew, Drosera linearis, 2
Sundews are small delicate plants. The long narrow leaves of this species are covered with sticky tentacles which attract insects. Any insect landing on it gets stuck. The leaf then curls and closes around the insect and digests the insect. They are found only in bogs. This one was in Petrel Point Bog in the Bruce Peninsula.
