[QUOTE="Mantids USA, post: 349668, member: 13369"] I seem to have an issue keeping blue/green bottle nose flies. For whatever reason they either do not hatch and the ones that do, do not live long, I have food and water crystals for them so not sure what the issue is. I can however raise both kinds of fruit flies like crazy lol but they are to small for my mantids. Please note : My mantids are not starving and I am just looking for more food options. I feed occasional wax worms and I am waiting for my silk works to grow up for a food source but I would like more food sources if my flies do not hatch. I tried roaches and none of my mantids even attempted to eat them. Are lacewings or ladybugs a good food source for mantids? I also read on here to collect some insects using black light. Any other insect should be a good source for my mantids or should there be some I should stay away from? [/QUOTE]
