If a person touched a sundew, then would they get stuck to the plant, or will the plant recognizes them as not a prey.

Welcome to the Forum!
Come on in and look around!

Sundew glue will stick to your fingers when you touch them
But the glue is very weak.
You can easily pull away.
It feels like thin mucus when you touch it.

Good growing,
Mike
