I was at Boy Scout camp in the Adirondack mountains up by Lake Placid. I was doing an environmental science badge and needed to make observations of a biome. There was a bog just down the trail from our campsite, so I decided to do it. In the bog I discovered these plants that were glittering in the sun and had sticky stuff on the end of tentacles! I plucked one out (I now regret that choice) and showed to my Scoutmaster. He told me that it was a sundew, and that it ate bugs! I thought that was the coolest thing I had ever heard and was determined to learn more about that. “

Apparently you are skilled with the search tool (which is good) but light on the following directions bit (which is bad). Only one entry per person and please do not answer if you have already secured a place in the sign up.

Since question 5 was erroneously answered, here is question 5a.
What was the first carnivorous plant I ever saw in the wild?
(Hint 1: See question 5)
(Hint 2: I presently have an abundance of them)

Sundew

filiformis

Sorry about that @Panman whenever I see the word "giveaway" on a thread I get too excited and tend to skip some important parts in the description.
