Hey um i have a question well see yesterday i made a fly trap i just put like bananas and stuff on a plate well anyways i couldnt find my butterfly net so it was hard to catch them so i put some banana on a stick and put it in my praying mantis's enclosure to lure them into it well i caught a fly and it was injured and moving a little so i put the stick in front of the mantis and it started eating the banana so is it safe or no?

I believe quite a few mantids enjoy snacking on banana.

maybe it was after the moisture of the bannana more than the actual food?

i wouldnt think it would harm much, as after all it would have eaten the fly, which would have been full of the nana anyway.

well actually i dont think it ever ate the fly i just think its interesting

might try gurtrude on a bit see what happens, she'll eat most things that are offered within reason (wont eat choc or rice crispies, as caught one of my boys trying to feed her coco pops <_< lil begger!!)

did i make him jump out of his skin when i caught him, "OI WHAT YOU THINK YOUR DOING!!!!!!"

Why would it not be safe? Some of you worry about the strangest things.
