Tenodera sinensis
a baby praying mantis?
hanging out on our pool.
literally walked the whole perimeter of our 12' x 30" pool.
Thank you Doreen! :)Maria, We left it alone afterwards, hoping it would stay in our yard for a while. We get many different kinds of mantis' in our yard. :)Thank you ForestDragon! Yeah, sure I will join the mission. :)
Yes! It looks like a Chinese Mantis nymph (Tenodera sinensis). http://bugguide.net/node/view/876324This would be a perfect addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
Nice spotting and interesting that you watched it walk so far. Where did it go afterwards?
I love it. I love the story too.
