[QUOTE="PseudoDave, post: 3239, member: 123"] When i'm hatching flies to feed things like hymenopus, wahlbergi's etc etc, i feed the maggots a little bit of set honey (waxworms as well). This gets their sugar levels up a little and when they pupate and hatch into flies they'll be slightly better for the mantids in my opinion. I don't breed my own anymore because no matter what i tried it always stunk too much. I used all kinds of methods, basically if you place a piece of fresh meat of any kind in a container, you could get flies in the garden laying eggs within an hour, for your own, at least you'd know they were all the same species and all the same kind of size.
