Fish flakes/pellets, rose petals dried or alive, mesquite leaves, clovers. most of what they like is those things. but usually they will only eat rose petals if they can.
We don’t talk about that

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8
