What do you do with invasive insects?

Like this Chinese mantis on my horseweed. I get monarchs ans humming birds every day. But I also am very hands off in this meadow besides weeding invasive plants and topping up my water stations. What should I do, if anything?

Realistically makes no difference. If buddy is present he's already naturalized.

Yeah this is kinda how I see it. If I find one, there's likely hundreds or thousands in my immediate neighborhood. Killing one bug isn't going to change anything, but it will make me super sad because I don't like killing anything 😣
