pretty much like a sundew, but pings secrete a slippery substance (but sundews are sticky) on their leaves to attract prey.
when the prey contacts the leaf they struggle, stimulating more glands to produce more mucilage.
some types curl the edge of their leaves a small amount to make a very shallow dish shaped leaf.
