A Sundew For Me?

I am looking for a sundew that meets a few requirements. I haven't kept CPs since I was a kid so please guide me in the right direction.

I would like something that does not go dormant.
I prefer something that can be grown by the light of a window (however I can supply a lamp if needed).
I would like the plant to catch fruit flies and other small flies that get inside my old drafty house (so it would be great if the plant didn't need a dome over it).
My house is around 73F to 77F, so a plant that fits that temp range.
It would be great if the plant was common and readily available.
Since I am haven't kept any CPs for a long time, I prefer a plant that has easy care.

That is all I can think of at the moment. Is there a plant that fits my needs?
Thank you for any suggestions!
:D
 
No carnivorous plant should be relied on to provide pest control, but besides that aspect, I agree with Api.
Capensis!!!!

Good Growing,
Kenny
 
Haha I know what you guys mean :)
I have been swindling my parents for the past two years that my little plants control the pest problems in our house.
