I made this litte cat out of Aunt Lydia's size 10 shaded yellows crochet thread. He is 5 inches tall. My Daddy gave him the name of Orange Ball Panther.
This striking member of the sundew family is distinctive with its stringy leaves covered with glistening droplets of sticky exudate. Insects trapped in the sticky hairs are digested by plant enzymes.

The southern plants are larger than the northern and are considered by some authorities to be the separate species D. tracyi. Thread-leaved sundew is dependent upon Coastal Plains Ponds in their northern range and have become quit rare throughout much of their range.

Note: You might wonder "why' I have such items. The answer is that they are just really cool, old, handmade things that no longer have a place in our fast paced world....but were once a common day item in the textile industry before everything shifted to plastics. They are very organic in that way....
The thread is Baroque, Ecru, size 10. Crocheted with a Boye size 6 hook.
I made this some time ago and don't remember where the pattern came from; at a guess, it's an old issue of Magic Crochet magazine.

This was fascinating. If you look close, there's a thread coming off each cocoon which then are wound together. Most of the time you can't see the thread so it looks like the cocoons are just bobbing in water -- like they're boiling.
