It would take a very long time! Most sundew species are tiny, so you’d get an almost imperceptible amount of nectar. It’s also pretty sticky and viscous, so it wouldn’t be easy to collect.

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

I'm loving these plant videos! One thing I've never really understood very well about some species of plants in Australia is how they can only germinate once there has been a fire.

[@throwawayacc2514]

looks like im a little late, but the explanation for that is that the species that exist in ecosystems with regular fire will adapt. most of the seeds have a protective coating that must be removed by fire, or chemical detectors that detect when chemicals from smoke have leached into the soil.

[@birchtree334]

I have seen these grow in the pacific north west. There's a lake in Oregon with a giant log sticking out of the water and on top of said log is a bunch of sundew and it's the only carnivores plant I've seen grow wild in Pacific northwest.

[@snarkygnome619]

Slowly evolved like that just by accident like most things in evolution. ;)

[@adityaprabhu6]

If you think of it like that, it is scary; however, it is completely possible - similar to how plants know they need insects to get pollinated. Some plant species have hairs or trichomes that are used against defense from pests. At some point, some species with stickier trichomes or ones that can absorb some nitrogen from the insects that came to them fared better off in lower nutrient environments. Eventually these plants put more skill points into developing stickier hairs to capture more prey and increase the amount of nitrogen they can absorb.

[@I_Dont_Believe_In_Salad]

They aren't evolved to catch flying creatures (in this case flying insects) They just evolving to catch their preys that's stupid enough to get to their sweet
