Yes!

The nymphs usually won't eat for about a day or two after they hatch, just like freshly molted mantids. And also, mantids don't usually go after ants (at least that was the case with me) because they "know" the ants can bite or sting.

Take everyone else's advice and use fruit flies.

or can go out and look for small flies or other things that cling to the sides of your house or walls!

My Pseudoharpax virescens went after huge ants a lot.

another way to attract wild fruit flies is a small glass or something put alcohol with a slice of lemon or orange and that could attract them as well and its the kind of alcohol you drink not rubbing alcohol!

It is very simple to get fruit flies. Put fruit outside. Wait. When there are many catch them.
