I just want a regular looking mantis like an African or Chinese. Can there be Chinese here?

Any other people have different answers? I checked that website originally but I'm not in any of those counties.

I want to find and capture a Mantid by me. I live in the southern part of Florida, in Ft. Lauderdale. The town is Weston to be exact. My county is Broward County (some people locate by counties). If there are any species around me where, when, and how can I find them? Thank You. :D
