I've found a few recently, but couldn't pass up this one.
I believe that the Chinese Mantids are the ones usually sold. I would love to see these here in NY but we are just a bit north of their range. I keep hoping :)
Great! I had assumed he was from the egg case we'd bought earlier this year (which I always thought were those of the Chinese mantis), but am just now reminded that we had bought that last year. It makes me happy to know that my back yard is suitable habitat for such awesome critters!
