If in the case the flytrap cannot catch its own food (although this should not be a problem), I have heard crickets meet the standards just barely. They don't have the highest protein count, but they work. If the insect is slightly larger than the trap it's caught in, will the plant still be able to digest the cricket? Thanks in advance, I'm new at this.

If it is out in the sun where it belongs then it will catch plenty of bugs without help.
