Description: The video shows a time-lapse and macro footage of a roundleaf sundew plant trapping a fly. It uses text overlays to explain the process: first, how the plant's sticky tentacles curl inward to engulf the prey, and second, how the dew-like droplets that initially lured the fly contain digestive enzymes to break down the meal.
