Praying Mantis

I agree Forest. This is a chinese Mantis. The green borders is a strong indication.

Hi ReynFam, this is a beautiful Mantid! This looks like a Chinese Mantid. The European Mantis (Mantis religiosa) doesn't come in that color combination (brown with the green on the side of the wings) as far as I know.

Check out the link for the ID suggestion I made and see what you think.

This would be a great addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
