Praying Mantis

Description:

Nice brown coloration with darker spots and stripes. .

Notes:

The bush it was found was usually teeming with different types of insects and on sunny days alot of butterflies would come drink nectar from it's small flowers (Lantana camara). Alot of pictures I've saved (and some already posted) came from that bush, which was already well about 1.80 meters high. Unfortunately, the people who take care of this area decided to cut it off almost completely for no apparent reason.
