[QUOTE="mantisboy, post: 200389, member: 4227"] I have gone 3 season raising numerous M Religiosa and split their diet between wild grasshoppers, flies, and moths late summer and early fall, then crickets during the winter. However I also toss lettuce, potato, Cheerios cereal and bananas into a chopper and feed the Crickets for 48 hours before I feed them to my mantids. I have never had a Mantid killed by a cricket. However one of my big females somehow managed to get wedged between a branch and her housing and the cricket in her housing ate a portion of her wing. Crickets are pretty brutal which is why I only put one in a housing at a time. Crickets are so voracious that sailors used to dump crickets on boats that were infested with cockroaches and within a week the boat would be roach free. Central Texas just had an explosion of Crickets and probably put a huge dent in the roach population. [/QUOTE]
