[QUOTE="JennMantis, post: 72740, member: 2097"] My Chinese mantis likes to eat regular flies that I find outside (thanks to my dog's poop lol) Maybe you can try leaving some food outside during the day and catch them with a net. I collect them with plastic baggies (I'm getting pretty good at it!) or sometimes I use a butterly net and then stick them into the critter keeper that I have my mantis in. If you find that they're too zippy and might fly out, you could put them in the freezer for a min or two to slow them down and then dump them into the enclosure before they warm back up. I also catch crane flies and moths that come out during the day. [/QUOTE]
