Trigger The Isopod VS Snapper the FlyTrap

Hi folks, this little isopod, Trigger, seems to have made a hobby of walking through my flytrap, Snapper.

They are one of 6 isopods in this terrarium, and as far as i can tell the only one who frequently triggers the flytraps to close.

I’m worried that it will eventually stress and exhaust little Snapper.

Were isopods a poor choice as cleanup crew for flytraps in general, or just for such a tiny flytrap? (I kind of hope i don’t need to replace all the isopods with something smaller.)

And do i actually have a problem, or is Snapper likely to be just fine even if many of the traps end up dying off before their time and without prey?

I appreciate any advice from the community!

1\. Trigger \& 2 recent victims  
2\. Several days later, 2 victims pruned (after completely blackening) and a third victim in the background.  
3\. 1 day later 3 more traps trampled and closed, i expect it to happen 2-3 more times before they start to blacken.
