The sundew plant - is one of a handful of carnivorous plants. It's leaves are covered in hairs tipped with drops of sticky fluid. When an insect lands on a leaf it gets stuck.

The drops of fluid digest the insect, and the plant absorbs the nutrients. There is an excellent article on Wikipedia (see link) with some stunning photogrphs.
