Do you think carnivorous plants are helpful or harmful to the environment? Why?

They are helpful since are still plants that find a source of food and give life to the environment.

they are helpful because insects need to be eaten or there will be an over population of them.

If there are no carnivorous plants, then they will be too much insects and they will harm the plants, and we will not survive. So I think they are helpful for the environment.
