[QUOTE="xxdreamchas3r913, post: 349102, member: 4365"] Thanks for your input and species suggestions! Yea, I would probably need to get a pretty voracious female to make this work. I wouldn’t want to euthanize the dubias, tho, as that would defeat the whole purpose of this thought experiment. As for the fruit, I know that certain mantids have been known to nibble on fruit (likely for the water content), but it wouldn’t be a substantial part of my hypothetical mantis’s hypothetical diet, just a supplement. But it’s also just a thought and may not be practical. Sigh, I know I’m making this overly complicated on myself. It might just not be meant to be but I will keep looking into options. 🥲 [/QUOTE]
