[QUOTE="Arwen9, post: 159307, member: 5311"] I wouldn't risk it, personally. Ants have mandibles that can pinch and bite your mantis. Worse, some ants have a stinger with various types of venom. I have fed ants to a nymph once, and it ended up losing some of the tarsi on one foot and limping for several days. <_< I didn't do it again. But I'm also a little super cautious when it comes to prey items. I never feed bees, wasps, etc either which probably would be fine to others. ;) [/QUOTE]
