Basically the plants are wrapped in damp paper towels (sometimes with sphagnum moss around the roots) and placed in a plastic baggie to prevent them from drying out.

I don't have any photos of it, but I'm not sure that a photo would give any clearer picture than the sentence I wrote above.

If you look at any photos that I have posted regarding plant purchases that's how the plants come. This thread is the easiest to find off hand:

It's normal and nothing to worry about. All droseras I received by mail lost their dew.

And it's not like honey. There might even still be some dew when you get it. It comes back in 4-5 days.
