Yes they are harmful to plants such as first year venus fly traps. I lost two of mine before I killed the infestation. The larvae eat the roots. I caught them in the roots of my judith hindle that died also.
But it all depends on how severe the infestation is. I have been using those yellow sticky traps to keep them under control. I have some Bti (a strain of the biological insecticide Bt that is designed to control fungus gnats), but I am waiting till I've got my thrips/aphid infestation under control before I try it out.
