Why cant you feed a Venus Flytraps ants?

Venus flytraps can eat ants, but they are not the ideal food source for them. Ants have hard exoskeletons that are difficult for the plant to digest, and their small size means that they may not provide sufficient nutrients compared to larger insects. Additionally, Venus flytraps thrive on a varied diet of soft-bodied insects, which are easier to digest and offer better nutritional value. Therefore, while ants are not harmful, they should not be the primary food for Venus flytraps.
