Ivy,

Start with something easy like Sarracenia, the American pitchers or Drosera, sundews. All you need to do is provide the proper conditions: always sitting with their feet in water and for Sarracenia, cold enough for a nap next winter but hot and sunny all summer. For Drosera, sundews, also with their feet in water but they always want it warm and sunny.

No need to find bugs for your plants. They will get enough on their own - bugs are fertilizer for carnivorous plants but they are green so also producing they own food, like all plants do. You can actually over feed them - essentially over fertilize - and kill them.

Have fun!
