Close ups of my mantid eating

[Eldur]

I was coming from a trip and my mantids had not been fed as much as ususal because someone not a "bug person" was feeding them. So when I went to feed her she was so hungry that she tried to eat my finger she grabbed it hard and started to chew on it, I thought it would hurt any minute so I stopped it but she held it quite hard. Then I took her to the mealworm box and while she stood there on a peace of paper I looked for worms and threw them her way, man was she happy, she ate a few and then got more with her in her enclosure. Here are some pics of her standing in the mealworm box

Yummy

Last night I gave her some honey and she liked it so much she wouldn´t let the toothpick go :lol:
