this moth thrashed side to side and was stuck in several places in this drosera. I did think about trying to cut it out, but I think I would have done more damage to it and also felt I shouldn't deprive the plant its catch.

Drosera may stop the flying off but tricky for ID. By the look of the antennae, I would guess it is a male geometrid but I can't do any better than that.
