[QUOTE="AndrewFR, post: 344212, member: 12392"] I recently bought black soldier flies from the reptile store I usually buy flies from. I fed them to my orchid and two ghost mantids. The ghosts only ate part of the flies, and left part of the abdomen uneaten. The orchid ate everything, then fell twitching to the floor almost immediately. A day later and he's on a leaf with his head near the ground. He responds when touched but is acting really strange. Are black soldier flies poisonous to mantids? Is this the end for my first orchid? Can I do anything to help? [ATTACH]14250._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
