Sorry to be picky, but I can just imagine some hillbilly saying ’Bona Petite’ in my head, and it’s not a good image.

I dont’ know about keeping one as a pet but in OH it IS ILLEGAL to kill them. In high school for our bug collection we were alowed to bring in LIVE one show it then release it. If it were dead (like you killed on purpose) you got a one day in school suspension.

Ya I live in oh to and it is illegal to own r kill a mantis. its just one of those silly laws from long ago. There was once a male mantis inside (I’m in high school) my bus and the girls(I’m a girl but i think insects are cool)were freaking out so i grabbed it and it flew on the floor toward a girl and she almost squished it!! I finally caught it(taking attention not to hurt it) and let it go outside

I always catch preying mantises in Michigan and breed them, but they are only 2 inches long, where can I buy the huge mantises?
Also, if u provide a heat lamp for them and food will they live through the winter?

My cham loves to eat them too.His name is liitle Hermin
