    aggressive mantids

    Sphodromantis lineola, pnigomantis medioconstricta, rhombodera basalis/valida, plistospilota guineensis are pretty awesome hunters. But even small ones like creobroter gemmatus, acromantis, popa spurca aren't lazy

    Small Available Mantids?

    Yeah acromantis japonica are pretty cool, easy to raise and live pretty long, got some that went adult in September.  Also Creobroter gemmatus or Otomantis scutigera are small but cool.

    Also i think mantis is an ideal first pet for kids it doesnt live as long so that the parents are stuck with it when the kid stops caring about it and it doesn't get boring can be handled often!
