Are there any reliable breeders on the net?

Um, good luck getting one.

A few years ago, the USDA decided to really crack down on a law against exotic mantids imposed in the 70's. Exotic mantids (such as orchid mantids) cannot be legally imported.

I should get my mom one of those for her birthday. ;)

Ah, I read that wrong. For some reason I thought they were in the UK at the time.
