How do you get them out of the culture and into the praying mantis habitat without the flies going all over the place, if you are doing it indoors?

Haven't tried it yet, but I saw that you can coat the sides of a feeder cup, or something similar, with Vaseline before transferring from the culture. That way they can't crawl up the sides. Just tip the cup over and tap the side until you've gotten enough into the habitat.

Are they insulated when they are shipped?

They are packaged securely but not insulated.

Can these be fed upon arrival? My tarantula slings arent eating the bean beetles i got them

I ordered this product last year. There were a good amount moving around and ready to feed to your pet when they arrive. Great product.

What is the square bag that comes in the box... is it food for the fruit flies, if so, do i break it up and put it in the container with the flies ?

Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us! The white square bag that came with the flies is a heat pack to keep them toasty warm through their travels! You can throw it away once received! Our Flies come from Michigan and it can get real chilly here in the winter! ❄ If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 800-691-8178 or e-mail us at info@joshsfrogs.com! Thanks again, Angela
