Green Mantisfly

This one can sneak up on Lacewing prey really easily, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Very cool! Thanks so much for the info and good luck with your search!

Hi J. Taylor, this very cool insect is actually a Mantisfly. They are related to Lacewings. They have similarities to Mantids, so I am not surprised that it tricked you! This is an adult, you can see that it has wings. I keep hoping to find one myself! Great spotting!
