Fedding terrarium plants

Hilla, i got it!, is imposible to me see a plant eat a inocent ant that wuz walking on my salt water aquarium, ¬¬, anyway the poor ant is going to die if it fall in the aquarium. Can i feed my dorseras, pings, sars, neps and heliamphora fish food?, i got one pellet food w 1.5% of fat, but in the ingredients it have copper sulphate and salt, is it bad?, should i better feed them a 3% fat food, with yellow 5, i know is a cancerigen, but i dont tink plants can have cancer, or can they?, well wich food is better?, what is the worse thing could happen if i feed fish food to a plant?, what is the better ting can happend?, thanks for the patience us have to me.
 
I've fed my neps freeze dried bloodworm (powdered) which I have also used on my pings, ceph, & dews. Can't say as I noticed much difference in their growth, except the ceph. It was kinda pale looking before I fed it and it got a darker green on a couple of new pitchers within a day or 3 of the feeding. I have been sprinkling the pings with the powdered bloodworm lately just to use it up so I can throw the container out. I've had it on the shelf 2 years and I'm tired of it taking up space I could put a plant in

Oh, ok, i notice someting weird....A worm walk over a leave of a cape sundew, but the sundew dont move.. the worm walk away and i take it out of the terrarium, i tink my plants are full of insecs, but they dont try to eat them, i usually c 2 flying bugs per day. Any tip is good.
 
leaves dont close instantly

it takes ~90 or so minitues for them to wrap around fully. try feeding them dead worms instead of live ones
 
A very small piece of pellet might be alright. Too big a piece can damage the leaf.
 
the plants still loking good i tell all whants going on, but they dont eat live tings, they are lazy =(.
