I don't know where you live, but here in Durham NC we are not particularly
known for our cockroach size and yet I can't see any CP (except maybe a
Nepenthes?) being big enough to successfully digest an adult cockroach.
They're just too big for a VFT and all but the largest pitcher plants. Small
roaches are just like any other insect with the standard warnings against
overfeeding a particluar trap.

Hope this helps,
Phil
