theres nothing you can do as a last minute resort, i think if you put a piece of banana in a container with a small entry hole you can get fruit flys in about 1 day(make sure its in a shaded area). by the way, HELLO im doug from cali
Hello Hugo! And welcome to the forum... nice to have you here.
Lots of places on the Internet (including MantisPlace) sell fruit flies, and will ship to you. Otherwise, you can make a fruit fly trap like Doug suggested... or you can take an aquarium net or whatever you have and sweep the grass, weeds, bushes, etc. and see what you can rustle up.
Remember... It's always a good idea before buying mantids, to line up and acquire your feeders first (or maybe have them shipped with the mantids like MantisPlace will do).
If your nymphs are big enough to eat house flies, you may be able to either catch some of those... or see if you have a fishing/bait shop nearby that sells spikes (maggots... that will turn into flies).
Best of luck to you. I hope you get some feeders soon!
