Well a mosquito is good, anything tiny u find outside it can prob eat, just put a few in there and also try leaving out some small piece of fruit or something to draw fruitflies, in a pop bottle or something so u can offer that too.
Mosquitos, gnats. That's what I fed an L1 gemmatus when somebody sent me 2 creobroters for free (very unexpected)!

You should always have a fruit fly culture handy at all times. This way your not caught off guard for those unexpected moments. Go look on some vegitation for aphids. You should have no problem finding any at this time of year.
I got these little flying bugs with real long antennas and got like kind of long wings not sure what they are but my mantises love them and they are all over the place and if you find swarms of little bugs anywhere those are what you need to get in abundance!
