Where to buy a Praying Mantis?

Question

I caught a praying mantis right before the first frost last year, and kept her for some time before she laid egs and died (eggs didn't hatch or were sterile).

I've seen a number of UK based sights selling praying mantis of from plain to some of the exotic ones, though I live in Ohio.

What are some more respectable websites to order praying mantis' from. 

Please don't just google "praying mantis for sale" and then give me the first link. And for what its worth, there is no laws prohibiting, owning a praying mantis in the State of Ohio.

Thanks

Hello,
I bought my egg sack of these praying mantis's at a garden shop.
The take a while to hatch, so it says. Mine has not hatched yet but still waiting keeping them warm and hanging from a plant. 
Bugs are not illegal to have, though in some parts of the country they are hard to find. 

I spoke by email to the guy who runs this web site. He is very smart when it comes to bugs. Go check him out.

From what I hear lady bugs are hard to get right now.

You don't need one, if you pray to God you only have to do what He asked from you .... pray in spirit and with a full hurt. That does not include a specific tool for pray, Wouldn't that make God a bad person ? what about those billiards of people that can't buy this ? think about it.
