I caught some meadow katydids yesterday and would like to know what they eat. I have kept them before but they never seem to last long. I have fed them crape mirtle leaves and apple and wild strawberries and a few other things and they seem to eat that but not very much. What do they eat in the wild or what do people feed them when they keep them?
also what do cone head katydids eat?

I found 2 of these huge female beetles are they sawyer beetles? I put one of them in a cage and she has laid some eggs. how long does it take for them to hatch? that is if they were fertilized.

Hi I am going to pin these beetles and would like to know what species and genus they are. Is it a long horn beetle? the smaller one I am pretty sure was a male. it is about 1 inch long. the other beetle with the feathery antenea is about 1 and a half inches long.

How long can a mantis go without food? I have Eleven 4th and 5rd inster carolina mantises and won't be able to feed them for 5 days will they survive? If I put some extra food in there would they be ok for that long? Or is there some prey that I could put in their cages to allow them to live?
