[QUOTE="Connor, post: 309364, member: 10304"] In my opinion earthworms would not be a very good food source at all. If you plan on getting a small mantis then you will most likely have to feed fruit flies when they are young. I thought the same thing as you when I first came into this hobby. But fruit fly cultures are not near as messy as you think. For a bigger food source I would for sure go with fly pupae. They are readily available and hatch at room temp. You can even just put right amount of pupae in the mantis enclosure and boom. Dinner in a few days, that most importantly, you don’t have to touch. You can store fly pupae in the fridge for up to a few weeks. [/QUOTE]
