Default Re: What happens when a Sudnew captures an insect

Ken,
Strath has about summed it up for you. What you observe with your paradoxa is typical of sundews with a round/oval leaf held on a petiole. With binata, adelae and indica and other more blade-like leaves, the way the prey gets stuck is slightly different.
