Anyone know what this is? I found it under a tree stump today while cutting wood and I want to know if I should feed it to my mantis right away, or see what it turns out to be after metamorphosis and feed it to her then.
Any votes? It looks like a juicy caterpillar or larvae now, but it could be some delicacy later on.
ps. if it helps, it's in the northeast usa.
pps. I found some sort of large, queen ant like thing too. It was as big as my L3 mantis, but what a meal that would have been for her if only I could get it before it got away.
