Looks like Stagmomantis carolina to me. A geographic location would make it easier to confirm.

i live in virginia..

i have a tenodera sinensis, right now.. i was looking for a mate for him.. but, i'm out of luck...

Definitely a carolina then. There is a guy selling a bunch of them in the marketplace for $15 for as many as you want. Males don't live long, so act fast!

sounds stupid, i know.. just a little curious.. lol.

Don't, likely cannibalism. Definitely nothing beneficial.
