I believe there are some vegans who won't eat figs because they absorb the body of a certain type of wasp. I forget the details, but the point is - it probably depends on the vegan
One key detail of that is that the figs contain the bodies of that type of wasp, so you're technically still eating an animal if you're not extremely careful.
Is that not also true of the fly trap?
As far as I know, the vegan prerogative is to avoid harming any living creature, and avoiding eating animals comes downstream of that. I think other vegans believe eating any animal for any reason is immoral, but I'm not really sure of their rationale.
So on the one hand, you might be able to convince a vegan to eat roadkill...
There's some debate over whether bivalves are vegan, because they don't have a central nervous system and therefore can't experience suffering.
