My venus fly trap takes, at best, a day to capture a housefly. Are there any easy to keep and preferabally indoors plants that can catch the flies sooner?

Drosera Capensis can catch a lot of flies, but only in the sunniest of windows.

The most effective plants are sarr. But they may not grow well indoor.

If you have the conditions inside of your house to grow very healthy CPs, then try a Nepenthes.
If not, get flypaper. Much more effective ;D

I'd have to go with Capensis like the others - although it's only caught sugar ants for me!
