Stylidium petiolare

Its not actually a carnivorous plant, but more like a mimosa, the flowers react to touch.

Yes, stylidiums(petiolare included) are carnivorous plants. The plant on my picture is stylidium caespitosum. The base of flowers have dew on it, and i feed them with DBW. Also, like sander said, flowers of stylidiums have a lil hammer on each flower, loaded with pollen. When a flying insect buzz around, the flower whip the poor guy with the fine powder.

Here you can see the little hammer(slingshots) on the stylidium's flowers.

" Triggerplants are considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant."
