Yeah, they're carnivorous! Can't you see his tiny teeth? 
And they grow wild in your state of Ohio!

*cough* I wouldn't recommend trying to collect them in the wild. I'm pretty sure there are some legal issues there...
A quick search on google will turn up TONS of carnivorous plant sites and resources. I bought this little guy from Black Jungle Terrarium Supply. There are plenty of other people who sell them too, including a few on ebay. They're very easy to come by.
A little harder to keep healthy though, they are NOT like ordinary houseplants, they require special care.

oh, forget it then, they willdie with me :huh:
I'm right there with you, Rebecca.
For some reason, I can grow outdoors plants great. But when it comes to trying to have plants indoors... if the kitties don't kill them, I certainly will!
I used to be good at it, something happened to my green thumb, it turned black and fell off, and somebody stepped on it and smashed it to smitherines!
I never was good at it. When I was a kid I used to experiment and tried "helping" Mom's plants by injecting their stems with a fertilizer/water mixture. I used one of the syringes we injected our pigs with (we raised feeder hogs). Never could understand why those plants didn't appreciate all the extra time, attention, and excellent care and nutrients I was giving them.I used to be good at it, something happened to my green thumb, it turned black and fell off, and somebody stepped on it and smashed it to smitherines!
They would just die, lol. So much for Becky the house plant grower!
