I went into debug mode and gave myself level 10 trapping. I then placed 10 stick traps and baited them with caterpillars, millipedes and slugs over a course of several days. I teleported far away and then back and forth once per day to refresh bait. Each bait type was placed in all 10 traps, and another 4 traps were always baited with cereal as a control. The insect bait was consumed but never caught a bird. 1 trap broke. Each test, the cereal traps were successful.
Termites and pillbugs are not valid options for baiting stick or cage traps. Not sure if intended.
After testing the 'new' insects, I repeated the trapping tests with crickets, cockroaches and grasshoppers. Those baits were very successful.
