The sundew's adhesive has "Spiderman" qualities. For example, it can stretch to one million times its normal size. Most rubber bands can stretch to only about six times their original length. This remarkable elasticity makes the adhesive dew secreted from the plant a potentially effective choice for coating replacement body parts, regenerating dying tissues, healing wounds and improving synthetic adhesives. The material is so sticky and elastic that it's also economical--less than a microliter (0.0002 teaspoons) would cover 25 square millimeters (about 0.04 square inches).
