Good evening.
I have a logic that I'm yet to try out myself once it's spring and summer here...
But has anyone tried putting Stapeliad plants as companions to Carnivorous plants...? Seperate pots ofcourse, but it could be a rather beneficial partnership!
Stapelia attacts flies from miles away, they polinate both plants, and all the dumb ones end up on the menu of the Flytrap?
Personally I can't wait to try out this theory...

I breed flightless fruit flies for my other obsession, could potentially work for you. They're INCREDIBLY easy to breed. You might want to find someone else that would want the ones you aren't using because their population growth is explosive.

Get a bottle, cut 1/3 from the top (the part where you drink), invert it, put a couple sliced fruit in it, then put it outdoors.
