Ironclad Beetle VS Mantis

[CoolMantid]

I know ironclad beetle have very strong ectoskeletons, are they too strong to feed to a mantis such as a Giant Aussie, Ghost, Popa?????

I might keep him as a pet. We find them every year and we always call them Fred (The first time we found one we named him Fred) :blush:

Well from what i know the mantis will try to figure out a weak spot to eat it from, so it should be fine, if not it wont eat it and you just take it out.
