It has sticky goo that when the insect sits there it traps it real quick.
Bladderworts have tiny bladders on their underwater leaves. The bladders have trigger hairs on the out side edges. When a small animal like a water flea bumps against one of the trigger hairs the bladder inflates with water and sucks the critter inside where it is digested. The sticky goo that traps insects is not found in bladderworts but is found in sundews.
