LMAO, that is the funniest, Mantis police....I don't live in the US so it is quite amusing.

If I find one, it's food for my guy...

As FaunaBgirl says "So... you're taking your chameleon for a walk.... just minding your own business.... your cham's tongue flies out.... he chomps... chomp chomp..... Did YOU touch the mantis. I think not!" lol, prove it in court.
PLEASE!!!!

In Louisiana there are several types of mantis. The two most common are a very large bright green type that can't fly do to its large butt and a very slender brown flying type that I usually only see in the spring. Have never tried to feed them to my chams though. I have heard of people ordering the juveniles before on the net to feed to their chams. Good luck. David

can veileld chams eat smaller mantids?

the link does not work

Here in Illinois I see them sometimes

In arizona during summer, you can just go out to a bush and if you look good enough you'll find those tiny brown ones and the huge green ones. i once kept a green one and had him for a few months. but then i let him go, he was free roaming on a fake ficus tree of ours and he never flew away.
