Yes, different kinds of foods can be fed to a flytrap. The trap closes whenever several of the hairs inside the trap are touched one after the other. There is a neat way to set up a little ecosystem using 2-liter soda bottles. I've seen it in a book called "Bottle Biology", but I found the same thing on a web page:

Keep them moist not soaking. Keep them in the moss like they were shipped in. They are from acidic nitrogen poor bogs so don't fertilize them. They can be killed by nitrogen fertilizer or normal plant conditions. Don't overfeed them. But yes any bug or even a small piece of meat if there are no bugs to feed them (like a very small shred of hamburger) they like normal light.
Here is a site that tells you everything,

They say to never feed hamburger because of the fat in it. OK, I stand corrected.

No, there many insects that produce or absorb chemicals through their diet that may harm you fly trap. Blister beetle being a notable example.
