Carnivorous plant sundew eating fly time lapse

My second attempt at capturing the amazing sundew (drosera capensis) eating a fly. In this case, the video was much better quality than the previous one as I set the camera to manual focus so it always had the same leaf in its best focus.

The reason for the change of brightness was due to the sun constantly appearing and dissapearing (good old British weather!).

The video is a good demonstration as to how the tentacles on the plant move inwards to pin down the insect and hold it in the middle of the leaf.

Enjoy :)
