Not sure I've seen mantises here in coastal CA. Maybe, but for sure ladybugs, although probably more when I was in L.A.

So, how do I cultivate a population of ladybugs?
Lots of mantises around here, you just have to look for them.

And if I find one, pick it up and bring it home? :)
You can keep them as pets. Put a leash made of thread on one, thumbtack the other end to a square of plywood and feed it ground beef. Don't try taking him for a walk, it ends tragically with a single misstep.
