[QUOTE="Fidelio, post: 3567, member: 138"] Hello all. I've got my first Mantis, a sphodromantis of some kind and he's doing fine. He's about 35mm head to tail. So far I've been feeding him crickets I bought, although I've nearly run out of small enough ones. I was wondering now that the weather's getting warmer whether I should be able to find enough food in my garden rather than buying another box of crickets. I've also given him the odd moth and he's made short work of a few houseflies. Some sites I've looked up say you can feed them pretty much anything you find in the garden except things like spiders and wasps, ants, bees, and for some reason, woodlice. Does anyone know if there's anything else in the average Southern UK urban garden I should avoid? I seem to have quite a few shield bugs at the moment and I was wondering if they'd be OK? Thanks [/QUOTE]
