Carnivorous plants are a lot more varied than I had expected. Catching insects on the surface of the stems seemed unsual at first but apparantly making insects stick to external parts of the plant is not uncommon at all. The most unusual way of catching insects seems to be found on utricularia/bladderworts instead which have bladders with underpressure inside that suck in prey when it mechanically disturbs the cap on the opening.
