[QUOTE="happy1892, post: 348055, member: 5913"] My sub-adult male Ghost mantises actually took the small D. hydei fruit flies and ate enough of them to get fat. Right after molting the larger Ghost mantises may not take small D. hydei though. Not sure. I know that L5 P. wahlbergii nymphs wouldn't take D. hydei right after molting, and so house flies or lesser wax moths were necessary at that age (L5). But then after a couple of weeks or so from when they molted the L5 P. wahlbergii nymphs were aggressive enough to take small D. hydei fruit flies. [/QUOTE]
