Everyone is saying its too late is the season, but I live in so cal too and just found a mantis a few days ago. It was an adult but very lifely and really energetic... it wouldn't stop trying to fly in the jar lol As to how to find them, its actually funny because i havent seen a mantis all...

yes meagan thats what I meant, and thank you all maybe I wasn't looking in the right places

So does that mean that there are violins in every stage of life every part of the year?

First post :) I am looking to possibly get some violins and everywhere I look seems to be out. What time of year are the fertile ooths and/or nymphs going to be available? Sorry if this is a noob question or is in the wrong forum section, I'm new to the mantis thing :P Thanks in advance...
