I actually raise mantises every summer…I have one female left, trying to keep her alive all winter. She ate a bunch of crickets today but wasn’t looking too perky.

@ Catherine – thanks and the hat makes it for sure! They are very laid back and shouldn’t have to worry about holding one!
@ Liz – thanks
@ Bobbie – welcome to my site and very glad you commented! I am not sure if these are the Chinese or European mantis because my search says they both could be found here! Maybe the photos above are one of each?? Not sure and never looked at them that close! Thanks again for your comments!

I wonder if they are the same species as yours? The ones here tend to be brownish, but with bright green wings. I think the species name for the ones here is Tenodera aridifolia sinensis.

BTW we also have walking sticks here, but see them less frequently.
