Stagmomantis carolina
Female nymph. This nymph hatched from an ootheca that was laid by a wild collected female. She has an interesting turquoise color.
The mother was found in a weedy location in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
This is a captive mantis that is native to my area.

Now you know that I have seen the ecdysis of mantids. Plenty of them really. lol
Wow! What a blue! Really impressive one, my friend!
She became a lovely lady! ♡
I added some photos of her as an adult.
She had her final molt on April 9, 2013. :)
We call it a Praying Mantis.
That certainly is an unusual color! Welcome to Project Noah!
