Usually, The European mantis is common, but it could be a different one. The Chinese praying mantis is common in east TN. This is the large green/tan mantis. The Carolina praying mantis is also found in east Tn. It is much smaller and more aggressive, usually with a more brown cast to it, with lesser claws than the Chinese.

Praying Mantis is a general term covering many species. For all animals, the Family level ends in -idae so the Family is known as --ids.
In length from what I've been reading is the chinese mantis or Tenodera sinensis or the Plistospilota guineensis.
It depends on the religious denomination of the "Praying Mantis". Different religions not only have designated places to seek food, but also, the type of food that the Praying Mantis may eat.I believe Hermosa Beach, in California has a Homeless Mission for the Praying Mantis; however, the food is for consumption "in house", NOT for "take-out"! Not sure if it's still there, as this was back in 1999, when I lived in the area.
The mantis will chew pieces off of its prey. Kinda like its eating a large drumstick!
A praying mantis is a type of carnivorous insect that ambushes smaller insects. They are named for holding their front legs in a way that make it look like they are praying.
