why does everyone feed flies and crickets and mealworms?

i thought mantids needed a varied diet.

I feed mine roaches, bees, moths, small lizards(not often), spiders, and beetles.

I try to avoid at all costs pet store food.

My mantids grow up to be strong and healthy while avoiding the pet store diet.

I do agree that nature has the best naturally grown food for your mantids. It's just most people this time of year do not have access to such an abundance of food items locally. Finding any inverts in my yard this time of year is close to impossible! Too cold!
