Sort of but not quite. They are insects so they don't have an internal skeleton like we do but they do have a skeleton: their skeleton is on the outside and that's called an exoskeleton.

a praying mantis is a type of bug so it is an invertebrate (is an animal lacking a vertebral column) A praying mantis's body support comes from an exoskeleton. Exoskeletons contain rigid and resistant components that fulfil a set of functional roles including protection, excretion, sensing, support, feeding and (for terrestrial organisms) acting as a barrier against desiccation. Exoskeletons have a role in defence from predators, support, and in providing a framework which musculature can attach to.
