Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, is one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, including more than 194 species that lure, capture, and digest insects by using glands that cover their leaves.

In photographer Joni Niemelä‘s gorgeous images, these individual droplets shine with exquisitely-speckled details, adding a mystical feel to the hungry plant. Below are some photos of Niemelä’s photo series. And you can find more of Niemelä’s awesome work or even order a print on his site. Of course, follow him on Instagram is another easy way to see his upcoming amazing photography
