My cape sundew is lovely and I’m so new to plants. I hear VFT are picky and I believe sundews aren’t

If you get a carniveris plant they eat insects because they live in pour soil so they burrow nutrients from the bugs all you need is insects like bugs to keep them alive

Are mealworms OK to feed to carnivorous plants?
