What is an easy-to-obtain species of sundew where the leaves wrap around it's prey?

Well the most common, and probably one of the easiest species that wrap around prey is Drosera capensis (cape sundew). They are sometimes sold at hardware/home improvement stores.

Capensis is easy to obtain and wraps around the bug. Honestly its widely available and not very rare, but its still a very beautiful plant and it grows really fast.

Actually, most sundews wrap around their victims, it's just more dramatic in the species with longer leaves. In my experience, anyway.

I have a lance leaf sundew, the leaves don't move but the tentacles work together more.
