They look more like ants or wasps. There are some plants that trap insects but do not have any mechanism for digesting them as carnivorous plants do, such as Bejaria racemosa which we have in Florida. It might be a defense mechanism

could be a semi carnivorous plant with sticky secretions that traps insects.
