Woah there's a ton of them! Did you find a preggers one or something? The first picture I had to grid off the pic and look hard to find them.

Growing up in Salinas (lettuce capitol of the world they call it, heavvvvy farming area) the local orchard supply hardware store had mantis egg sacks for 4 bucks, and lady bugs for like 6 bucks. You buy them to release them in your yard as pest control options.
I always tried to get my parents to let me buy a mantis egg sack to hatch and keep like OP is, but they always shot me down even though I've always been allowed to have oddball pets. Snakes, scorpions, tarantulas, lizards, geckos, etc

actually, i just ordered some egg cases from amazon
there are tons of dealers who sell mantis egg cases in the winter. i'd link you to the seller i bought them from, but theyre sold out. if you want to raise mantises, you buy the egg cases in the winter, and keep them refrigerated until you want them to hatch in 2-6 weeks. they're kind of a seasonal insect
adult mantises are pretty common in exotic animal shops during the spring and summer though, if you only want one and aren't feeling like raising, and thinning out a herd of 200 alienbugs

There's way more than ten to twenty in that picture. Gresh probably hatched a couple hundred from the egg sac.

So let me get this straight, you let a foreign invasive species into the wild around your residence?

that particular species of mantis might not be a local one, but we already have mantises around here.
you seriously sound like some lame ass hippy in that post, blaming me for introducing a beneficial insect just because it comes from asia
the Japanese/Chinese mantis has the exact same diet, temperment, habitat, whatever, etc as the Carolina mantis
take note that the Carolina mantis is native to Pennsylvania. as well as several other species.

there might be 2300+ species of mantis, but like 2000 of them are the same damn thing with miniscule physical differences. they all do the same thing though, eat other bugs.
mantids can be found in almost every vegetative habitat on earth
I'm not introducing any invasive species.

They said the same thing about the grass carp and the walking catfish. Hell, they probably said it about the ball python.

Imma release Africanized honey bears in your neighborhood for the lulz If they smell honey in your house hundreds will swarm the dwelling! With teeth that can sting multiple times, they are not to be fucked with. The only out is to hide underwater with a small tube for breathing for atleast 30 minutes.

i'm not sure i understand. i had no idea carp or catfish were a problem. people love catching and eating those things.
whats wrong with fish? do they make the brook by your house stink?
as far as ball pythons.... ive never heard of that being a problem either. they are mostly pets, and non venomous.
