A praying mantis is a carnivar meaning it eats other insects. Just buy some crickets from a pet store or get nay spiders u find and throw it in with the mantis. That should be fun to see.

Yeah, what cobra said. That would be the best thing to do.

Steps:

1. Get a video camera
2. Feed it
3. Tape it eating the poor bastard alive

Yeah that would be fun to watch.

i just hope the mantis doesn't die before i find a cricket.

oh yeah, how long can they live without food and water(does it even need water?)?

All living things need water. just spray some water on the leaves, it'll drink that

That is indeed true. As long as it lives, it needs water. Anyways, just go to your local pet shop and they will have crickets and their very cheap Winky Winky
