years ago we had some annoying flies in the office and I suggested that we could get some carnivorous plants. Mainly just to see if it would do anything. And I wanted to see them in action.

A couple days later, I watch some flies walk along the rim of the pitcher plant, and across the inner side of the venus trap. Basically humping the trigger hairs.

You had one job, plants...

If the fly is small enough (like gnat size) the venus fly trap might not even recognize it. That's usually when sticky traps are better (like sundew)

That just sounds like you're trying to build an ecosystem.
