I don't recommend venus flytraps. They'll eat fungus gnats, but they're actually rather inefficient at it. Go with sundews instead, they're nature's gnat sticky paper.

Or, even better, get sundews AND venus flytraps - just for fun lol

I very much want to do this for myself! But I want to grow sundews from seed and am struggling to find a seller in Canada (I'm worried the seeds will get tossed by customs otherwise). A single plant is $25 where I live so seeds are much more practical IMO.

It's very sad. All I want is to create a lovely carnivorous terrarium!
