Does anyone know the nutritional value of these? They're all over the place. You can find them anywhere there's grass.

Good prices and fast service. Would buy from Reggie again.

I bought some with the intention of trying it as an alternative to moss. Has anyone tried it with their mantids? How has it worked?
