NICE! I usually get them too. I haven't seen any yet this year, but I think they are the coolest things. DH is scared to death of them though.

Dh found one last fall and brought it home. Turns out she was pregnant and laid the sac in the apartment. You better bet I got that thing out fast. She and her unborn found a new home in a science classroom, but she made a crazy pet for the week we had her. Crazy eating habits, that's for sure!

Thats nuts! I remember something about being fined if you killed one. It's prob a urban myth but I think they were low in #'s around here years ago.

Re: check out this little BUGger!
Ya actually I think its true........if you are caught killing one, you get a ticket.
I would never kill one of them anyway........they're too slow and cool looking to kill LOL

It is actually an Urban Legend:
Origins: The belief that it is illegal to kill a praying mantis (a crime carrying a $50 fine as a punishment) has been floating around since the 1950s, and we have no idea where this bit of insectoid legal apocrypha came from. There is not (and never has been) any federal or state law proscribing the killing of praying mantises. They're certainly useful insects that are best left alone since they eat a lot of other bugs we consider pests, but they're hardly an endangered species. (If they were endangered, killing them would carry a fine far heftier than $50.) Maybe because they're considered beneficial insects and have such an unusual posture (they're prayin', fer gosh sake!) people literally thought it a crime to kill them.
