While awaiting my maggots to grow into flies, I would use a stick and dig those buggers out and feed them my mantids. Works well when they don't seem to want to take it from your hand or it's too small for your fingers. What ever works!!!!

Pretty cool!!

So was that from a package of frozen bloodworms? I wonder if freeze-dried blood worms that are soaked in water would work too...

This is interesting, I have never even tried to feed my mantids with none-live food.

How long did it take your specimen to start eating the bloodworm?

he started to eat as soon as i put it near it. it does take 5-15 mins to feed each one but it is fun .

I can get live blood worms from my local pet place. Thanks for sharing.
