I used to keep fruit flies in a jar when I had a frog. I caught the frog in a stream up in the mountains, kept it for about a year, then set it free in the same stream.
There was mashed banana in the jar. I used to put it in the freezer for a few minutes, then shake a chilled fly or two into the frog's dish, and it would catch them when they warmed up enough to start flying again. I must have been doing something right or the frog wouldn't have survived.
Maybe you need a pet frog?
I.
