[QUOTE="Golden State Vivs, post: 264473, member: 6779"] LOL hibiscus, don't feel stupid. Those aren't even sinder151's original words, that was ripped from the US National Library of Medicine...literally, copy + pasted. You should probably cite your reference material sinder. Also, mantids don't "catch honeybees for the honey." Honeybees gather nectar, take it to the hive and metabolize it into honey (a very rudimentary explanation). The mantids opportunistically capture and eat honeybees, along with other small insects, both flying and terrestrial. While i've never fed my mantids honey, I have dusted their feeders with bee pollen. [/QUOTE]
