I know it's illegal to kill a praying mantis, but this one pretty much stalks me and it scares the bejebus out of me. Is there any way to get it to go away?

Squash the sucker & flush it! I had one stare at me & then jump on my face!Don't worry about the bug police!
I think Praying mantis's are really aliens from some planet that blew up a few hundred yrs ago!YUKKKK!!!

Oh, for heaven's sake , it's a little bug that can't in any way harm you. Get a grip!!
If you must dispose of it, take it down the street or something.
By the way, they make good pets. they will eat raw hamburger from your hand once they get used to your presence.

Get him to crawl on to a long stick and take him to another location.

How do you feel about spiders and snakes? This little fellow is good for your flowers/yard. They eat spiders ---seen them do it. I found one in my kitchen the other day. He was only about an inch long and I very gently picked him up and put him/her in a hanging basket.
All God's creatures are good......well maybe not spiders!

It is NOT illegal to kill them..that is a myth. See this link:
