ants for food

[willgood]

i have alot of little tiny ants, that seem harmless and im wondering if you could use them as food as long as they are smaller. Im in the northwest so i know they arent poisonous.

I wouldnt reccommend feeding ants to mantids. From what ive heard, all ants can sting and bite and they wont hesitate to use their weapons on your mantid.

Thanks,
