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/876324

This 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?
