The life and death struggle of a small beatle on a pygmy sundew leaf.
D scorpiodes has extremly sensitive tentacles which can detect insects touching them, they move to glue the insect in place.
Several important things you should know: The battery ran out on the camera and the beatle got away!
Photos taken over 35 minute's which is compressed into 17 seconds video by taking 1 frame around every 12 second's and turned into a video using Jordan Running's useful little program MakeAVI.
