We didn't get any sundews but I'd like to and would like to put them in
all
the houses as part of the bio control but Ray points out that they might
*catch* the bio controls. ;-))

They catch flying things (1). I don't think they'd get the red spider
controls, not unless you had a 'bridge' across the bog. Ad probably not
even then. They're more use at getting the occasional housefly than at
anything which might go for your plants. And they're *useless* against
slugs ;-)

(1) They don't seem to catch whitefly - it's butterworts that are good
at whitefly.

The pitchers are very effective at catching hover flies, which is a shame,
since they are another garden friend. I did spend some time last year
rescuing one or two, sad I know.
