nightmare begin, how am I going to get foods in without getting some of them spilled out and cause a mess...

 
You just have to move them, search for our threads on moving babies, or get bigger container and Just quickly dump them in, they wont run far, have something sitting on table, that they will climb on and u can use a stick to collect them, must do it, u cant feed them in there.

 
You can't leave them in there. As she said, gotta move them.

 
If you have a net cage or other similar large enclosure (with a zipper on the side or a feeding hole so you don't have to open up the entire big lid), you can put the cup in there, open the lid, shut the lid on the big enclosure, and let them disperse. If you don't have something large like that to put them in, you might have a circus getting them into lots of smaller enclosures. Good luck... I've been there! :lol:

 
haha, thanks for the suggestion, I'm planning to release some to where I found them, lucky enough to found them before the entire place get clear out for plantation purposes(totally burn down), planning to hold about 10 of them will do since I'm out of equipment and transferring bunch of mantis and their houses back home tomorrow will be a headache to me since I'll be taking public transport
