Japanese beatle

[Engraver30]

I notice these beatles eating my plants the other day. Was wondering if I could feed them to my adult Chinese Mantids?

Thanks

Yes they love those things

Mine won't eat them, but it appears that everyone else's will eat beetles.

Ditto!

I use them. Find lots of them.

Rick, why can't I get mine to eat them? Do you just put them in the cage and wait, or do you offer it to them?

I just throw them in there for the larger mantids. They have a hard shell so it may take a large adult mantis to eat them.
