I haven't ever done houseflies yet but as I understand it I buy the 500 pc cups of pupae and they hatch into flies and I get them into the mantis enclosure somehow. Does anyone have video or photo series or something of how someone opens a housefly culture to feed their mantids without the flies escaping all over the house? I can grab crickets and roaches with tongs but I'm not zen enough to snag flies outta the air!
How many flies does one adult ghost mantis eat? Just trying to get a feel for how many pupae to buy. Can the unused pupae be refrigerated until needed or will they die?
How long do the housefly/blue bottle pupae take to hatch at room temp?
Is one kind of fly bigger than the other?
