How many years has every been breeding mantids?

I was just wondering how many years has everybody breeding mantids. I myself have been dong it for 10 years and the past 3 years with exotics/natives.

I have kept mantids I found outdoors off and on for about 20 years. I didn't start really keeping them and breeding others until a couple years ago.
