How can I attract Praying Mantid to my yard?

Question

Is there any plants or something that will attract them?

Answer 1

They come looking for  a meal, so they need cover to hunt from. Dont use powders or other insect killers on your plants, it will kill them too.

Answer 2

I'm not aware of any plants that will attract them but I purchased one of their "cocoons" at a plant nursery and had dozens upon dozens of hatchlings.  It was a good purchase.

Answer 3

It's about a food source, which would be insects. You can buy cocoons, here's some links

or

The second is out of stock at this time, but I prefer to purchase from them.
