And I don't know much about plants. Could I put some earthworms in these? Where can i get them? Does Wal-mart sell earthworms? I live in the city so I don't see many.

Yes. I am well aware that these are carnivorous plants. I don't know if they will actually make their way up the plants. I know the type of water that has to be used here.

all of those plants on that page eat insects. you should research the plants more so you know the types of soil you can and can't use and the water you can and can't use. you can put worms if you like. a few of those plants like moisture and usually found in like swamp areas. Worms live in the city too. They are in the dirt....you gotta dig for them :) or look around after a big rain - they're around.

Ohm what fun! Good luck with that! I don't know if they can digest worms, tho.
Most any fish and bait shop sells worms, you might have to take a trip to the nearest fishing area to find them. I have actually never seen them in a city Walmart though I have near a big lake with a huge fishing area near here. You might try a sporting goods store like Bass Pro.
As for putting them in your plants, I don't think they would find enough food in a house plant to stay alive. You can build a compost pile and put them in there, they will live just fine in that kind of environment. You can also grow a worm farm, I know you can find starter kits for these on the net.

If you read the directions you will see that it says they eat bugs.

*************Helpful tips
When watering carnivorous plants, use rain or distilled water. Tap water may be too alkaline or contain too many minerals.
Good lighting is essential for carnivorous plants. An east or west facing window that receives at least 1 or 2 hours of direct sun is fine. A fluorescent light fixture containing two 40 watt tubes can be used in poorly lit areas.

PS
I think they eat wax worms and I'm not aware of walmart selling worms.
