They are eating, since they are from the wild I thought it was ok to give them Honey bees. They loved them...... They seem satisfied.

My Mantid Religiosa are eating crickets like there is not tomorrow. I also bought some Black Soldier larvae. They are hatching into flies and the girls love those too. I also emailed a lady here at Idaho State University at the Entomology department. She was suprised there was Mantid Religiosa here in Idaho. She said they were introduced in New York 100 years ago, but it was possible that they Migrated this far west. I did read that they have been found in Vancouver Island, Canada. Anyway, they are both eating well and I hope to have some Ooths out of them.
