[QUOTE="Rick, post: 72762, member: 13"] No they won't. That looks like metal mesh. You may just have to add more crickets. I use similiar enclosures and feed almost nothing but crickets. Make sure the crickets can climb up the stick to get to the top. When your mantids get hungry enough they will go down and get the crickets at the bottom. I have used that substrate and it dries quickly so make sure you moisten it lightly every other day. The larger the enclosure the less contact with food the mantids will have. Bluebotle flies are a good idea for awhile but it takes a lot of them to sustain a full grown female of a large species. [/QUOTE]
