I have a recently captured wolf spider in a ten gallon aquarium (20in long?). The substrate is potting soil, with a thin layer of topsoil. A live pine sapling and two pansies add decoration, and the crickets seem to enjoy climbing the tree.

The spider has dug itself a burrow, but I'm hoping to see it move into the "hut" I've placed in there.

Anywho, the point was to ask if there is any kind of nonprey insect I could introduce into the habitat that would;

A: Be passive enough to leave the spider alone, non-territorial.

B: Be too tough and non-interesting for the spider to kill.

I was thinking that only some kind of beetle would fit the bill, but I don't want something small, maybe a goliath beetle, but I only see them two or three times a year, and I'm impatient. ;P

Can anyone reading this think of anything else I could add to give some daytime entertainment while the spider is hiding?
