[QUOTE="Termite48, post: 188772, member: 3822"] I do not think in general, a mantis takes to eating non-flying things. If one is really hungry it might go for a very active and wriggling meal worm, but the way mine have taken them as suggested by Tammy W, is to behead the meal worm and let the mantid taste of the gooey stuff from the body end of the worm. Usually after a few moments of tasting and thinking about it, it will take the rest of it in its raptorials and finish the job. It is an acquired thing with them. Tammy says she actually has mantids that seem to take them with regularity. I believe it is the same with Superworms, and with crickets. [/QUOTE]
