[QUOTE="Curiosity, post: 344499, member: 11842"] Is is safe to feed praying mantises spiders? We have way too many spiders around our house and feeding them to Christina (my one permanently staying adult mantis at the moment) seemed like a good way to tamp down their numbers. (I'm not squeamish about/scared of spiders. There are just way too many of them.) The spiders are brown with bodies about the size of a fly and very long legs. Christina could take them in a fight easy. I'm mostly worried about her ingesting their venom and getting hurt that way. Or is there just too much of a chance that the spiders are carrying disease from what they're eating? I haven't tried this yet; I don't dare. [/QUOTE]
