Dude, is that a grasshopper? If so, I'd say get him outta there. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure grasshoppers eat leaves.

If they can eat a scorpion, imagine what they could do to a plant!!!! LOL j/k. I don't know if a praying mantis would hurt a plant or not. As far as I know, they are meat eaters all the way, like you just said. Just don't let 'er spit in your eye! GL

Id leave him, PERFECT. Pretty sure they will eat mites when they are youger, but he will most likely leave when he gets bigger and needs something else.

picture is kind of hard to tell, from the angle it looks like a grasshopper because I cant see the long prothorax that a mantis has.

I'd be more worried about what looks to be a seed pod. Maybe i'm just paranoid but that looks like a seed pod ( IE your girl got pollinated ) to me.

Do grown up mantises even eat mites? I know the babies do but I think the grown ups move on to bigger n better prey, besides that...it ain't even a mantis lol

Awww Miss Mantis. Very nice. Let her be. You'll be pest free for the duration. I'd get a critter keeper and move her from to grow then. Let her go outside in spring.
