wOb,
You could feed them to your CPs, but I think all of them (with the possible
exception of the Sarracenia) need their prey to be moving in order to
trigger trapping and/or digestion. I have had success in feeding dead
insects to my VFTs and triggering the traps with the tip of a handy pine
needle. I have also fed my Sarracenia small dead insects with no ill effects
observed.
BTW your English is great. Much better than my French.
Avec regards,
Phil
