I'll bet they taste good fried. Maybe even boiled, if you add salt...

Oh! You meant how do mantids taste their food? This is pure assumption, but I doubt they can even taste. Have you ever fed a mantis a moth, and watched it eat the fuzz that comes off the moth's wings? I doubt that could taste very good.

 
My recipe for limbata chip cookies

Got too many stagmomantis limbata? Heres the recipe:

3/4 cups softened butter

1/2 cup flour

2 cups brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons baking powder

3/4 cups dead L1-L4 stagmomantis limbata, freshly freezer killed

The ooths they came from, diced into fine pieces

Preheat oven to 325 degrees

Mix the butter, both sugars, and the baking soda in a large bowl until moistened

Add the baking powder until even textured

Stir in the ooth chunks and nymphs

Roll into half inch balls and place evenly spaced on an ungreased cookie sheet

Bake 8 minutes and let cool for 1 minute before removing from sheet
Oh no! Look at what I started!

 
I'd ask my chameleons, but they cannot hear by question nor speak the answer. They seem to be delicious. Never get a nosed turned up for a mantid.
