[QUOTE="13ollox, post: 16861, member: 410"] i just observed my mantis catch a cric and eat it ! it just chowed down on its abdomen 1st , then the cric kicked its face and things but she just bit its leg off after about the 5th time and carried on eating the abdomen after that , the head was the very last piece that got eaten ! maybe different species do different capture techniques ? this was a female membranacea sub adult ! Edit 1: just fed her another and exactly the same thing . i remember my polyspilota used to actually bite the neck and things before chowing down on anything else . Edit 2 : just fed my male membrancea a cric also and he went straight for the neck untill he had chewed its head off ! so a variety of results ! Neil [/QUOTE]
