These "lice" looking critters may well be Springtails. I'm told they
will not harm CP's and for several months after my seeds germinated
this is what the seedling fed on. It was hard to believe they tripped
the traps but indeed they did.

I think the plants can survive without prey and I have never used plant
food myself. If the springtails serve as food it's a moot point.
Hope this helps,
