D. capensis "Giant"

Yesterday, my D. capensis "Giant" managed to catch a house fly on it's own. Kinda surprising since it's still a baby. Oh, and thanks Clint.

Wow! Did it curl around like that on it's own? Or did it have a little help? If not, that dew sure got a grasp on that fly!

Yeah, it did that by itself.

Unbelievable. Too bad you didn't catch that on stop motion!

That capture method is most likely to draw attention to its carnivorous nature. Good job capturing that in photographs. Drosera regia can capture in a very similar manner.
