They live all over ontario and all of canada. Three species of mantids are found in Canada. The European mantis (Mantis religiosa) was accidentally introduced to New York State from Europe in 1899. It subsequently spread to Southern Ontario and Quebec and was later introduced to the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, to control grasshoppers.
