I've got a European mantis that's 1.25 inches long. I just got him/her so I'm not sure how many time he's molted, but he hasn't molted in my care yet. This isn't my first mantis, but this is my first "baby". Is he/she large enough to eat small house flies yet? If not, how would one find aphids or fruit flies or small things like that?

Pictures? Maybe with a finger as a reference or something. It seems large enough for small crickets or houseflies but I can't be sure.
