The plant feeds on insects, which are attracted to its bright red colour and its glistening drops of mucilage, loaded with a sugary substance, that cover its leaves.
Problem at taking photos of this plant is depth of field - leaf has 7-8 mm in diameter and a couple of mm in depth. With this 1:1 macro shot (this shot is without crop) I managed to get only part of the leaf in focus, but on the other side, background is nicely blurred.
