No they don’t….. They digest the keratin and body fluids chemically while the insect/animal is trapped and absorb the nitrogen in the body of its prey. This adaptation was selected for allowing them to exist in nitrogen poor soils where competition for sunlight and soil is low. They’re still photoautotrophs. Sorry.
