Carnivorous plants to reduce bugs?

[oddeye]

I live in québec, zone is 4b I think. I was considering planting a few carnivorous plants if it's doable/logical to do so. It's semi dry soil with some wetter spots. I'm looking for a hardy plant that can withstand winter and not die if possible. I would plant a few just to reduce bugs.

Thanks for the help!

I think your climate is waaay to cold. Most if not all start to decline if temperatures go below 50F. You could reduce the insect population better with a fly swatter than with a thousand plants.

All good, I do have a fly squatter so it's a good start. I guess thats why I never see them in garden here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarracenia seem to grow close. I'm pretty close to the st-lawrence river and it's slightly hotter than québec in general.

The only carnivorous plant that will grow in the cold is the northern pitcher plant but they are very small plants and not too much good for reducing insect numbers.
