No. It is not illegal to keep, kill, touch, collect, or in any way harm a praying mantis in the United States. They are not endangered, nor are they even that rare in most areas. In fact, the Praying mantis found in much of the United States is actually an invasive species from Europe introduced in 1899. There is a common Old Wives Tale that the praying mantis is protected and cannot be killed, but this is not true. The only occasion in which it would be illegal to catch or kill a mantis is in a National Park or other protected land where all the wildlife is protected. For further information, consult the Snopes page on praying mantises.
