Surprisingly, no. The dark spot you see that looks like a pupil is what's called a pseudopupil.
Compound eyes like those the Mantis has are made of ommatidium, which are designed like cones. When you look directly down into the cone, it appears black because of the pigment cells that exist in the back of the cone. Therefore, the ommatidium that are directly aimed toward you look black, which gives the appearance of a pupil.
