** DISCLAIMER. PLEASE BE ADVISED. Praying mantids are NOT to ever be released outside of your home or introduced in the wild. Doing so is against US Federal Law and illegal. They must be 100% contained in an indoor environment and again, never ever released outside.

**DISCLAIMER. Mantis Universe sells only captive bred praying mantids. Our mantids are NEVER imported. We have well established, captive breeding groups across multiple species that have been with us here in the United States, for many generations.

We do NOT sell phasmids or stick insects of any kind.

Mantids ship from BOTH Texas and California- depending on the species.
