Put it in a box.
Don't let it out.
It's pretty easy, especially if you already have feeders coming in regularly. Funny story - I actually bought my chameleon under the reasoning that my mantids weren't eating their 12 crickets fast enough in a 2 week period and I wanted another pet to feed crickets to!
Needless to say, pretty soon I was ordering 1000 crickets every month and a half instead of a dozen every two or three weeks.
Mantids are super easy. Super fun to watch. They need a bit of ventalation like chams or they get fungal infections. They need 70-80 degree heat like chameleons. They need once a day misting. They need a feeder that'll put up a fight so you can charge admission..
.. and they need to be photographed!
The giant asians are the funnest to watch. I had one that took bumblebees and wasps out of the air.
The ghosts are the most beautiful insect on the planet (IMHO).
