Praying Mantis in Sequim, WA

Hi, I just posted images of a large praying mantis I spotted in Sequim. I'm wondering if any locals would like to talk to me about it, as I'm a reporter at the paper and we are going to run an image of it, but I thought it might be a larger story. I've never seen a mantis in Sequim before. Perhaps this one was released in a garden or is the descendant of one released in a garden. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on the subject. Very curious on a personal basis also.
Thanks,
Emily
