catching a mantis

[nuke113]

I'm finishing learning how to scuba and am wondering if it is possible to catch a mantis underwater, i know we have them out hear off the coast around corpus because they have them for bait, found them one year alive but cant find them ever again.

i would try making a trap for them and then go back and check it every day or so. it could be as simple as a 2l bottle with the top cut off and turned around. or you could possible make something much more fancy.

dont forget to bait it, hey who knows what you'll catch might even be something cooler.

Cooler then a Mantis, no way.
