ANSWER #2
For various folkloric reasons the praying mantis is considered lucky especially amongst the Chinese. Perhaps you should consider yourself blessed to encounter one on your doorstep. The ancient Chinese admired the praying mantis because of it's "prayer position". The Emperors of China were said to be particularly fond of them. They are extremely good hunters, able to remain motionless for long periods of time to catch just the right prey, indicative of patience. Again, folklore ascribes them with the ability to become invisible and visible at will. Martial Arts practitioners consider them a good subject to study because of their body movements and positions.
