I'm currently raising 8 ghost mantises (male and female) which are all around pre-subadult or subadult. Since I've had them, I've fed them M. hydei, house flies, and bluebottles as they have grown up and they have done very well on those foods, however, I really hate raising and caring for flies. I have an adult female Giant Sheild Mantis and 3 Giant Asian nymphs who all wolf down crickets and anything else I catch very well and I find crickets to be much easier and more locally available. I think I've heard that crickets are bad for ghosts, but I've seen other posts where people said they feed their ghosts crickets all the time. Would it be ok to do that? Also, what about mealworms, waxworms, and all the other various feeder insects that pet stores in the US are likely to carry?
