This one looks like a Chinese Mantis. Pretty common in many areas of the world.

I just started caring for and breeding Mantids myself.

i haven’t seen one in years. I think the are so cool looking.

Thanks for the info.

There are thriving communities online that sell and trade them. You can buy an eggsac of the Chinese species for fairly cheap at certain stores or online.

They are a beneficial insect and will eat other garden pests.

I met a bunch of people through Facebook groups and started trading that way. I have some coming in the mail from breeders overseas. I can't wait to share the photos when they hatch!

I'll be sure to check them out.
