Q.Do You Sell Praying Mantis Live And/or Eggs?
I would like some natural predators in my yard. I have never seen praying mantis in our neighborhood. I would like to populate our area with praying mantis and lady bugs.

No, we don't sell any gardening products, plants, or beneficial insects. Nor do we make vendor recommendations. It is usually recommended to try to attract natural predators to your yard rather than purchasing them. Releasing them into your yard doesn't mean they will stay. In the case of praying mantids, they also eat other beneficials, so it may not help to release them. Here is more:
