You got to put it together first. Follow the directions https://fiverr-res.cloudinary.com/images/q_auto,f_auto/gigs/182979418/original/57f4798658ff7c98e524dbb7b34121aa8f78fe0f/draw-a-fake-ikea-instruction-manual.png

You want it to be humid, so the water dish that you have under it is great. NO PLANT FOOD, and distilled water if possible. Don’t go crazy feeding it too many bugs, it takes a lot of energy for the plant to eat a bug. And don’t feed it anything too big. If the trap can’t shut all the way, it will turn black and you have to pull it off.
Hmmm i dont often get bugs in my room where do i get one living bug? From the forest or is there pøace to by em?
What I used to do was wait till the summer when the flies would come out. Catch a small insect (flies are best obviously) under a cup/jar. Slide a piece of paper underneath it and put it in the freezer for 45 seconds. It will be enough to stun, but not kill the insect. Put the insect in the fly trap and as it starts to wake up and move again it will trigger the trap.
I catch the ants from outside and use tweezers to feed them into the trap
