Baby praying mantises only eat very small insects like aphids and fruit flies, which are difficult to catch. I found that if I take a small jar with a lid and punch a hole in the top (1/2" in diameter) and put a banana peel or other fruit waste inside, the fruit flies will naturally be drawn to it and once they enter, they can't find their way out. it is because flies lay their eggs on the fruit and when they hatch they dont know how to escape. I then remove the lid while putting the jar in the mantises' habitat.
Baby mantises can eat several fruit flies per day.
