The second victim faces off with the sticky sundew plant.The sundew’s tiny leaves are equipped with a viscous secretion called mucilage.The ant is swiftly trapped in this goo.As she struggles, enzymes begin to digest her body.Special tentacles sense her movement and curl around her,clenching her in their suffocating grip.Once she asphyxiates,which can happen in under an hour,the tentacles unfurl again to snare their next victim.Two down, four to go.The next target meets his end underground,in the coils of the corkscrew plant.He enters the roots through a tiny slit in search of food.But inside, he quickly loses his way through the tangled labyrinth.A forest of curved hairs prevents his escape,guiding him into a central chamber with flesh-digesting enzymes and deadly low levels of oxygen.
