Thank you very much for the info !!!! ForestDragon.
Muchas gracias por la informacion ForestDragon!!!!
Beautiful spotting! This lovely mantis is from genus Stagmomantis. This may be Stagmomantis carolina, as it is known to occur in your area (not sure if there are other similar species). Here is a link to BugGuide (which covers North America) for the Genus page. There may be some additional resources locally to you to find out which species this may be. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpag...
Choeradolis rhombicolis, also known as the Peruvian Shield Mantis (in English anyway), is a leaf mimic and looks very different: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/461...
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
