Looks like a sundew.  It is carnivorous.

[Timburr]

Yes, definately a sundew.   The larger ones have been known to take small, straying children!  :D :D

The sticky beadlets attract, capture and digest insects.   They (insects) are the only nitrogen the plant can attain on impoverished soils.

Cool plants.  Never seen anything quite like it.

I've got those on my  place too.  Sometimes, to really get into the Flora and Fauna, one must get on his knees and stick his nose to the ground.   When I do (seldom anymore.... my stomach gets in the way) I'm amazed at the number of small flowering plants that I never new to exist.

They are neat if i thought they would take i would put some beds around the house to dine on the fire ants. ;D

These are in a ditch near my six year old grandsons house i think they are up high enough to avoid the little boys with dip nets.

Oh, Boy!

My son is going to love looking at those tomorrow.   He wants so badly to have a carnivorous plant garden. :D  We have had no luck with the little flytraps from the garden centers. :(
