Go to http://www.californiacarnivores.com
And order a venus flytrap or two. If you keep it watered, with a lot of sun,
and spray it often that might well work. American pitcher plants might work
too, but are better at getting sweet searching insects. Otherwise maybe some
house geckos would work, as long as you leave some baby food or water or
something to drink.
