Would a Venus Trap Enjoy a Juicy Caterpillar?

...or not? I've been picking them off my tomato and strawberry plants. Some are tiny babies, small enough to fit into a trap.

My dumb question is - would a caterpillar eat its way out of a trap?

I also have a hungry sundew that likes to dine on fruit flies. Would a small caterpillar be too much for it too?

I saw the sundew catch a big house fly the other day, but, after some struggling, the fly got away. Maybe next year, when the plant is bigger and stronger...

Thank you!
