Mantis religiosa
Is this a juvenile, perhaps? I have seen some young ones in my yard look almost pink.
Hi Gretel, what you have here looks like an adult Chinese Mantid. Mantid nymphs of all species don't have wings or only have wing buds. This one has fully grown wings. Hope this helps.
I would love to see this added to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
