A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Tenodera sinensis
Preying mantis? (Or is it praying?) Some kind of stick bug? Long green insect with brown wings that, when closed, look like a leaf. About as long as a hand. Found him on top of my car yesterday morning. Carefully transported him to the ground before I took off. Beautiful creature!
Northeastern connecticut, rural, wooded.
Nice find! It was good of you to move him to a safer place. :)
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission:
