[QUOTE="guapoalto049, post: 194456, member: 4037"] I keep roaches (lobsters and now reds too) and flies at all times. In the past I've gone to get crickets at Petsmart or Petco if I was running low on feeders or had many large females, and have had mixed results. The only times I've had mantids die with the black vomit is when they were fed store crickets. I think crickets could be a great feeder if they are raised, but I don't trust store feeders anymore. Roaches are much more fecund and easy to raise in my mind, and they get much larger than crickets which is nice for heavy mantids. [/QUOTE]
