[QUOTE="Fidelio, post: 3579, member: 138"] I didn't realise pesticide could be a problem. I guess I was thinking that insects that had been exposed to pesticide would be dead, but I suppose if they'd just caught a small dose they could be harmful. On another note, I've kept Indian Stick Insects for a while, and I thought I could feed spare ones to the mantis but I've seen on the web that they are not good for mantids. Anyone know why? Maybe if I ever get round to breeding them or hatching an ootheca I could be a bit more cavalier and experiment a bit. @Jackson: I got mine from Clevedon garden centre. They have a few different mantids, stick insects, tarantulas and the usual arthropod pets. Since then I found a shop in Bristol called Webs and Wings that seems to have a bigger range. [/QUOTE]
