[QUOTE="PhilinYuma, post: 87692, member: 2509"] Well, there is a pretty simple formula, Massaman, though it might be out of date by now. It is based on S. limbata fed on ff,s flies, crix, bees, roaches and "sundry snacks." The answer is in grams, so you have to divide the answer according to the ratio of insects fed, about 12.5mgms for a housefly 160mgms for a worker bee, and so on. Nest, you take the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin in your area and multiply that by the number of atheists found in foxholes in WWI. For larger mantids, you can increase the circumference of the pin head and/or lengthen the trenches. Its still pretty early in the morning for me, so thanks for not asking a difficult question. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
