I spent three months in Ajijic, on the shores of Lake Chapala, near Guadalajara. Great climate but not so easy to forage in the hills for predatory livestock due to the presence of other 'predatory livestock'!
I managed to find a couple of species of mantis in our garden and I found one when we were in Mazamitla. I kept them for a few days and let them go as there was little point in trying to get a culture going as we didn't know where we would end up.
The year before I was in the Yucatan and found a green mantis as well as a species that looked so much like a Popa spurca from South Africa that I ignored it until I remembered where I was and rushed back to get a photo!
Mexico is a lovely country and we have plans to return at some point.

Welcome aboard!
Be prepared to be bombarded with PMs from members trying to win you over and convince you to hunt for them. I wish I were joking.

Welcome! What fabulous photo opportunities you must have in the places you have lived.
I would love to see photos of any mantids that you find on plants, etc. (no buildings and not staged) just to see what they choose to use for perches and whether they are hanging upside down or sitting upright.
