The Sundew plant is carnivorous. It feeds on insects. The sticky glands secrete sweet-smelling fluid, that traps any insect that lands on the leaf. The leaf then folds over, engulfing the 'prey' - which is then digested.

Why doesn't the sundew have to move as quickly as the Venus flytrap to imprison an insect?
Sundews excrete a sticky mucilage from their leaves which ensnare insects that come into contact with it. Because the leaves are sticky enough to trap most prey, the leaves do not need to close quickly. The prey is effectively disabled before the trap closes. It is like having a glue trap to catch mice. Venus Flytraps do not have this sticky mucilage and must snap closed fast enough to prevent the prey from escaping. This is more analogous to a traditional snapping mouse trap.

Sundew plants trap prey by having a special sticky substance on their leaves, this substance smells sweet, thus tempting animals onto it. Once on the leaf, the animal is stuck by the sticky substance. The leaf then curls up until the animal that was trapped is completely stuck. It then begins to dissolve, this section I will not go into as it is not pleasant.
