[QUOTE="BriGuy, post: 217374, member: 6639"] I usually go on a bug hunt walk during my lunch break to provide supplementary food for my adult female Chinese mantis and find various small insects for my girl to munch on. Yesterday was a bit cold outside and it allowed me to catch a giant dragonfly that is probably about as big as my mantis (4" or so). I know that dragonflys are predators themselves and I've seen some pretty scary pics of their mouths so I'm pretty hesitant to feed it to her. How dangerous would a freezer-stunned dragonfly be to my mantis? Should I just err on the side of caution and set it free or will she be able to manage it? Thanks [/QUOTE]
