[QUOTE="Christian, post: 14693, member: 62"] Hi. I often feed bees and wasps and do not cut off any part of them. Usually the mantis is handling them properly, the few stings I saw did not affect the mantis besides strong grooming. I've never heard of a mantis dying after a bee or wasp sting (exception may be large sand and spider wasps). I once even fed a hornet to an adult [I]Idolomantis [/I]male, he got stung but was not affected very much. My female [I]Idolomamtis[/I] may successfully seize hornets. Regards, Christian [/QUOTE]
