[QUOTE="CannedSwank, post: 345180, member: 12772"] So I caught a mantis in the back yard, my first mantis - it was 1 molt away from wings - recently died after laying its egg sac.... and I want to get more.... but with older praying mantis at least - don't like flies because you can't open the cage without them getting out - and crickets have a reputation for potential disease issues I hear - any other food medium that works - looked through a bunch of posts and everything is mostly about flies and occasional hand fed meal worm. I am going to be purchasing probably another one, maybe a few of them the kind that do well in small groups... but once they get older I want to avoid flies... if that is possible or reasonable... haven't decided on what species of Mantis go get so that might muddy the question a bit.
