Subject: Drosera underwater

I saw some D. intermedia in the field this weekend, and they were under
several inches of water. It occurred to me that D. intermedia must spend a
lot of time that way since it is such a water-lover, and that made me wonder
if the sticky traps of this plant (and other Drosera) still work underwater.
And if so, would the plant's digestive secretions get diluted to the point
of uselessness? Is an underwater intermedia a starving plant?
