its common name is a mantis fly...but it does not belong to either in terms of family....so its not a fly nor a mantis. It belongs in the family Neuroptera..which are things like your green lace wings and brown lace wings that you see....weird..lol
i used a nikon 4500 cool pics i think and its only about an inch long...i love the fellow...however a work mate has since added him to the preserved insect collection....we were quite pissed...when we found out that he had been pinned....  . its was really fun watching him eat..

do you know anyone who breeds them and about how much they go for, I was thinking of getting either a mantis fly or orcid mantis but these guys are soo much cooler, and don't worry its not for a bug collection, I have one of those to but I only put guys in it after they die, that is if I find them soon enough and have time to prepare them.

How much they go for??? ehh...no...i don't . You can actually just catch them yourself...they are in Ontario...i think there are 2 species here....but don't quote me on that...the other one is green i think. they are pretty small...like 2-3 inches?? so you gotta keep and eye out..
By the way...orchid mantis are coooooool....i've seen them (Not in ontario of course) on orchids b4......maybe i can get some pics up..lol..
Thanks guys for the comments..
