While searching Ebay for my Mantis tiller I stumbled across many listings for praying mantis eggs. Some of these specify that they are Asian mantises. Searching the web for that it appears this is a species relatively easy to raise in captivity. There are many of these raised and shipped around the states. This seems to me like it might be a bad idea....comments? On another search for hummingbirds one page was of a hummer captured by a huge mantis, in the Carolinas I think. Wonder if it was a native mantis or something else.
