Mantis Eating Honey. Watch this!

[Nicholasdeaan]

Here's a video of @trickedoutbiker hand feeding an adult chinese mantis some honey! He then takes a nymph dubia roach, rolls it in a little honey, then rolls it in bee pollen, and feeds it to the mantids. They love them! We have bug problems lol

That is pretty cool!

Still has a bit of growing to do but it's almost there! They love the honey though and it's 100% all natural and pure so it's really good for them. You can also put a small dab on their forearm and they will slowly lick it off, like this....

One of them munchin' on a pollen-dabbed roach nymph.... before long I will have to up the size.

Very cool!

Pretty neat. Oh great, now I want an oothica of mantis. OK, so now I'm raising superworms, dubia and mantis. The spouse will not be pleased.

 

[Nicholasdeaan]

Just hide them! Lol

Hi there, I mash a tiny bit of banana for my mantids- they absolutely love it, will try honey and pollen with them too though. Fascinating.
