Where can I buy Mantis Flies? (Mantispidae)

Does anyone have a few where they live and would be willing to sell or trade some?

 
I do not have any, nor do i know anybody who does. Just wondering, are you planning to breed them? That would be interesting to see, considering their cool life cycle. I do know where to get some snake fly larva in the summer, if you were interested.

I've got one of those paper wasp mimicking ones... But it's dead and frozen. It was really neat while alive though, and had a huge appetite for mosquitos. And it had this neat way of moving its antennae, alternately up and down like a pair of scissors. I've also seen one of the green ones, dead. Probably wouldn't be too hard to breed them... Just go to the nearest garage or basement and gather up some house spider eggsacs from the corners lol.
