Can someone lead me to a place that sells grasshoppers. I do see them but they appear to in a can and not alive. I step son caught a grasshopper about a week and a half ago. So I put it in the habitat and the mantis goobled that thing right up. She seems to be pushing the crickets away since the grasshopper?
live grasshoppers for mantis food.....

I haven't seen any places selling actual grasshoppers to use as live-food before.
Maybe the pictures you've seen are feeder locusts? Most petshops and online live-food suppliers should have them in stock.

Tenodera sinensis (the one and only)
you could possibly try a live bait shop.. As in fishing bait. I mean this isn't a for sure theory but suppose it could worth looking into? Just call around and see.
be careful though as alot of pet stores are bad about cleanliness more especially bait shops.
but still, worth a shot...
