Stagmomantis carolina
Large insect with raptorial for legs that are used to capture prey. Should be called Preying Mantis. :P I'm not so good with these as they are not common in my range. They were everywhere in Missouri though.
Shaw Nature Reserve.
Apparently the females of this species are flightless (I wasn't aware of that until now!).
