Rosyankagot its name because of small droplets of sticky liquid, located on the hairs covering the leaves (from the Greek drosos – “dew”). It is these droplets that help the plant to hunt, and thus live.
Rosyanka got its name because of small droplets of sticky liquid, located on the hairs covering the leaves (from the Greek drosos – “dew”).
Is it even called “rosyanka” in English?
I think it’s sundew or drosera
What a way to go out
true horror
Im just going to take a moment an appreciate the fact that there aren’t any plants trying to hunt me.
“You’re still alive when they start to eat you”
That’s an alien and you can’t tell me otherwise
That was surprisingly disturbing/hard to watch.. it struggled more and more frantically as it bent backwards
How does the fly get consumed after being restrained? With the carnivorous plants I’ve seen there’s usually some vessel of some sort to hold the bug while it’s digested.
“SSSSHHhhhhhhh…”
—Plant, probably
This kills the fly.
Well that’s one of the most terrifying things I’ve seen today
Is there a subreddit devoted to carnivorous plants? Not r/natureismetal or r/natureisbrutal.
Trichomes!
Similar to the ones on marijuana!! Except the ones on marijuana are glands that store THC-A for immune system purposes.
His buddy comes in from the left machete in his first leg. His stout fly body pulsing with adrenaline. “Not my friend!”, he screams slashing at the tentacles pinning his friend. He circled round for another pass. He felt some slime on his back, it was risky to take another pass, but he couldn’t leave Reginold there to die like his brother had: helplessly trapped, alone, being digested by this monster plant. With this firmly in his fly mind he set his resolve and swooped in again.
The title explains nothing. How do you get the word “rosyanka” from that?
I thought the bug was drinking the dew at first then I looked again
r/natureismetal
Shhhh shhhh shhhhhhh
Looks dank as fuck
Really cool, very terrifying.
Anyone know how plants actually move like this? I mean without muscles and stuff.
I’ll just add this to the list titled “NOPE”
This is on EARTH. Imagine the horrors on the near infinite planets in the universe!

Reminds me of the scene in the Incredibles where Mr. Incredible gets trapped by those expanding black blobs
/r/titlegore
or from Russian – ROSA – dew
its most def slavic word, most likely russian in origin
SUFFER
Does anyone have the original source?
I need these in mah house
Do the droplets replenish after a period of time?
Imagine being digested to death.
Damn Nature…
^^^You ^^^Scary…
You will be slowly digested for 1000 years.
> help the plant to hunt, and thus live.
Oh right, I knew there had to be a reason we ate
How does the plant kill?
The whole time, in my head “NOM NOM NOM NOM”
Anyone ever feel like this fly?
That’s amazing! I wonder if it would react to anything touching it? Like even a cigarette bud? I often get told “plants have feelings” which from an evolutionary perspective, this would make no sense.
Is that just motion due to wind or is the bug struggling the entire time? Gruesome.

That’s a bit horrifying. It reminds me of a triffid.
I came across this gif right when “Hot For Teacher” started on my playlist. Made it look like the fly was going at it with that opening drum solo!
And here I’ve only learned in school about the Venus Fly Trap.
Rosyanka is freakin’ lit!
We call them sun dews. I grow these. There’s red ones and white ones. And it’s an absolutely beautiful plant!
I need one of those in my house. Does it attract mosquitoes too?
Can they survive without digesting bugs?
Revenge by proxy for every horsefly bite I’ve ever gotten! Thank you sundew plant!
Hahaha stupid fly… wouldn’t know a Rosyanka if it bit him on the… oh wait
Reminds me of that tentacle monster from the movie The Mist
I’ve grown up calling it a sundew.
Happy to be on top of the foodchain
I always thought it was from the Russian word ‘rosa’ – dew.
Is it sped up?
used to see these on lakeshores only accessible by logging road in BC when I was younger. Noticed lots of gnats stuck on their petals and thought it was cool how they’d suck up onto my finger when I touched those short red protuberances they have. Even went as far as to taste their dew which I remember as being sweet.
Bough a fly trap once, killed a fly trap once 🙁
And of course the first exo planet humans travel to will have plants like this hunting us.
r/natureismetal
Natural process
An unexpected struggle
Suddenly itchy
I want one. Are carnivorous plants difficult to keep?
That’s really fucking morbid.
So awesome would be to own a couple of these at home. Florida mosquitoes are a pain in the ass.
Are you sure it is not from a Slav language, “rosa” = dew?
Welp that’s enough reddit for today…
Have no idea what I’m looking at but it looks noice
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
Reminds me of one of those collapsible hair brushes for travel that push in from the center.
where can i buy one?
Faster.
r/NatureIsFuckingLit 🔥🔥
Damn
Nature is so cool. Even plants can do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Such a horrific death.
Some life on earth looks so alien…
The dark souls of plants
Creeepyyyy
I’m not sure that you could call that “hunting.” More like “catching prey.”
That’s like when u got a comb and u push down on it
Fucking dirt shit
