Re: Mantis!
We get them here in the fall as well. Not that species though. When I was younger I made the mistake of keeping two together. Found a headless surprise.

Re: Mantis!
1/1/03 huh 
This is from Stagmomantis genus. Most likely Stagmomantis carolina, the Carolina mantid. There are a few other Stagmo' species in the US, but I don't think any others are in your area, at least as far as I know. This one's an adult female. Mantids only live about a year, so once their finally adults they don't have long to live. If you really want to enjoy mantid keeping find yourself a male or an already laid ootheca
