I found the mantis talked about in other threads here on the forum, and one other site. Instead of rehashing what they said here are the links. Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, Link 4
I keep them in deli cups with paper towels on the sides and spray them a lot. they luv moths but I usually feed them blue bottle flies. I have an adult male right now. I will go to florida in june where I usually find them
