Subject: Harmful prey?

Hi CPers!

I wonder if I can feed wood lice (aka sow- or pill-bugs) to my CP
(esp. Dionaea and Cephalotus). I know these animals are no insects
but land isopods (Crustacea) -- little ugly land lobsters :-)

I found some flytrap animation (venus.mov) on somebody's homepage
which shows a Dionaea trap a wood louse. Are they (and cephs)
able to digest them and can they be any harm?

What about certain poisonous critters like house spiders and ants.
Can their poison/acid hurt the plants? What about lady-bugs (aka
lady-birds) and their yellow secretion?

Bye, Stefan.
