Fruightflys are probably what your ant looking creatures are . The Sundew is a D. capensis , if it came from a company called Booman Floral in an orange pot with a lil water tray and plastic wrap around it with a card then it's a D. capensis

. What company did the nep come from ?
 
Probably N. Judith finn. The leaves are too wide for N. ventricosa and taper outwards like N. veitchii.

Are the 'bugs' on the underside of the leaf and look like sunken black/brown dots? The plant looks pretty healthy so I am guessing that your looking at nectar glands. Either that or you have some ants living in the pot ..

Nectar glands? I thought only the pitchers drooled. My ventratas lips are always a bit moist but nothing like soem of the pics I've seen. Still, ants stop to lick and and then become "tipsy"...LOL
 
I have a rather amusing cicle of these fungus gnats.
They breed in my pot of P.grandiflora, then when they come out they get eaten by the plant!
