Feeding diving beetle larvae

According to wikipedia, the larvae of diving beetles will eat tadpoles and glassworms. It also says that glassworms are sometimes sold as fish food, so you might check with aquarium shops.

 
I couldn't find any glassworms but i got mosquito larvae which they ate, so how often should i feed them?

They'll eat anything that moves in front of them. If it lives in water, can't threaten them, and isn't a vertebrate (which tadpoles are), it's worth a shot.

They'll also take dead food if you move it. Impaling a bit of frozen bloodworm or similar on a thin wire and waggling it in front of a larva should earn a feeding response.
