Mantis Religiosa
Backyard
Hi J24, great find! This mantis is actually a very light brown phase European Mantis. The coloration along with the spots in the "armpit" area of the front legs (black-rimmed white spot) identify this positively.
This one may have recently molted or it may just be a very light phase. Either way it is very cool!
