the sad trueth and there is none. Ive spent my long hours searching, your best bet is to do the illegal, next time you visit europe, sneek an ootheca into an altoid case. the metal case will hide it fine form x-rays. Im only suggesting this and i really discourage you on doing this cuz its immoral and wrong... and so is j-walking and eating meat.
I once saw one at Magic Wings, this butterfly garden place nearby... I raised caterpillars from larva to adult from them before so I trust them. I'll contact them and see if they have any more. Shame that you can't get them in America, it seems like a really cool hobby. I did go on to mantid forum and made a post asking what a good beginner's species would be. The post was deleted and I can't log on now. So either the mods are holes and gave me a ban or there's something wrong with my browser.
You can still buy certain U.S. "native" species at places like Lowes and Home Depot. There are laws about importing exotic mantids where you may need a permit. There are U.S. hobbyists who raise mantids to trade and sell.
