I have an ant mantis which has never seen a mealworm before. I put a mealworm inside her container after not feding her for 2 - 3 days as she prepared to molt. I thought she would be pretty hungry and would catch anything in sight but although she was hungry, she did not eat the mealworm. Instead she saw it and started backing away slowly as if the mealworm posed a threat. :huh: After she backed away, I put the mealworm in front her a few more times. One time, she batted the mealworm away and kept on backing away. Did she do this because she has never seen a mealworm before? :huh:
