[QUOTE="Mantids USA, post: 349742, member: 13369"] So far no luck with catching bigger moths, only small ones, need a bigger light, There is tons on the tall streetlight in front of my house but my backyard is pretty empty. Still waiting on my silkworms to grow............. They all love crickets but want to stay away from them as much as possible. Just had one of my mantises die and it may have been due to the crickets. They are from a pet store and you never know if they have some funky stuff going on. I will try to catch some in my yard. All other mantids are fine so maybe it was just a fluke. They also love flies. I have fly food that I put in as well as water crystals, my issue is that most will not hatch at all and the ones that do I feed to my mantids right away. I will keep them in the fridge to see if have more success. Thank you for your help :) [/QUOTE]
