Olga's right

I've had adult mantids (Stagmomantis size) eat mosquitoes! Although you'd probably have to pump more Drosophila into the enclosure than you would bluebottles.

I agree of course, but remember the Superfreak Principle of Conservation of Energy that says that a mantis will use less energy if it catches the largest possible (manageable) prey and has to exert itself less often, and that the saved energy can be used for growth, egg production and studying for exams.
