What do premantis' eat?

Answer 1

While the nymphs are small it is best to feed them small insects such as fruit flies, aphids or micro crickets. As the nymphs grow, they can move onto larger foods such as crickets, locus, wax worms, meat flies and other insects.
The mantis can easily take prey as large as themselves and of their own species.Mantids can have spiders, but caution must be taken, as they can be caught up in any webs made if not supervised. Remember any creepy crawly is food for the mantis.
Try to vary the food given as much as possible, too much of the same food (mainly crickets) can make the mantis weak. Any uneaten food should be taken out of the container due to the mantis being venerable while sheading. This also includes any half-eaten dead insects, as mould can form on these.

Answer 2

I love when people have things they can't even spell... awesome. Just awesome.

The praying mantis is a carnivorous insect that takes up a deceptively humble posture when it is searching for food. When at rest, the mantis' front forelegs are held up together in a posture that looks like its praying. These front legs are equipped with rows of sharp spines used to grasp its prey. They wait unmoving and are almost invisible on a leaf or a stem, ready to catch any insect that passes. When potential prey comes close enough, the mantis thrusts its pincher-like forelegs forward to catch it. The prey probably won't escape because the forelegs are so strong and armed with overlapping spines. The mantid bites the neck of its prey to paralyze it and begins to devour it. The mantis almost always starts eating the insect while it's still alive, and almost always starts eating from the insect's neck. This way, the mantis makes sure that the insect's struggle stops quickly. Praying mantises eat insects and other invertebrates such as other mantises, beetles, butterflies, spiders, crickets, grasshoppers, and even spiders. The praying mantises also eat vertebrates such as small tree frogs, lizards, mice and hummingbirds. Praying mantids can resemble flowers and can catch small, unknowing hummingbirds. Praying mantids also eat other nesting birds.
