Venus flytraps can eat ants, but they are not the ideal food source for them. Ants have hard exoskeletons that are difficult for the plant to digest, and their small size means that they may not provide sufficient nutrients compared to larger insects. Additionally, Venus flytraps thrive on a varied diet of soft-bodied insects, which are easier to digest and offer better nutritional value. Therefore, while ants are not harmful, they should not be the primary food for Venus flytraps.

It would be best to keep it outside in a hot, tropical area so it can have more food around to catch and you don't have to feed them. If you have it inside for the winter, I had one, feed it crickets, which you can buy at pet stores.


How long do Venus live?

Venus Flytraps can live up to 7-8 years if taken care of indoors. If leaves get brown clip off and it will grow a new one. Do not throw the plant away if that happens. Because some people think that they are dying but the are not. If outdoors Venus Flytraps can live up to 10-11 years. If it is a baby than feed it small insects like gnats. Do not feed it large insects if it is a baby, but if grown then you may feed it bigger insects like flies. You don't always have to feed it however. It will catch small bugs that you are not aware of independently. Do not put them in direct sunlight or they will die, so put them in good but not direct light.


Can you feed a Venus Flytrap woodlouse?

Yes, you can feed a Venus Flytrap woodlice, as they are small enough to fit within the plant's traps. Venus Flytraps primarily consume insects and arachnids, making woodlice a suitable food source. However, it's essential to ensure the prey is alive when feeding to trigger the trap's closing mechanism effectively. Just be mindful not to overfeed, as this can harm the plant.
