i'm a malysian.. but im a fan of the mantis and i have a big yard beside my house. but i cant seem to find any... and ebay is so expensive so i dont know how....
I don't know where you can find them; they have always just shown up in my yard. (In Pennsylvania.) I've had them sit on my hand. They don't sting or bite, as far as I know. They are a protected species; illegal to harm them, I believe.
They're hard to find as adults and I know of nobody that ships them as such. If you're adventurous, however, you can order egg cases in spring from a number of natural pesticides places or even from eBay. You can also order fruit-fly cultures on eBay to feed the young nymphs, but you should only keep a few in separate jars to raise, as they will often eat eachother for the slightest transgression.
..and no, they usually will not hurt humans, because they realize our size. If they're hungry though and you offer it to them, they will nibble your finger and a large mantis can actually break the skin.

if they grab your finger with their forearms it hurts a bit, but doesn't draw blood. Just a little sting since they have spikes on them...

Each mantis is a kick ass - sadly though people don't see it and get overexcited over spiders and snakes - it really gets boring.
