I know they are carnivorous, and my mantids have never responded to anything other than a bug or some honey, but today I saw a video of someone feeding a mantis a fresh slice of potato. It grabbed it and started munching.

Can anyone explain this?

 

[hibiscusmile]

yea, it probably was starving and really had no idea what it had.

Yeah I agree! You have to wonder about someone who would let it get that hungry!

 

[nasty bugger]

it was after the fluid in it probably

Are you certain it was a mantis ?

 

[revmdn]
