Gonatista grisea
Appears to be some sort of mantid? Front legs were tucked in, but appeared to be "grabbers" like a normal mantis. Head and eyes very mantis- like as well. Looks like lichen. About 2 inches long. Very cool looking!!
My front porch. Area is a former long leaf pine / turkey oak sandhill habitat.
Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
Grizzled Mantid (not Mantis, please, correct!), some kind of a bark mantis. Yours is the female.
