order Mantodea
This green mantis was perched on top of a dried flower plant waiting for prey. It was about two inches long and very low key.
Mantis religiosa. I wonder if all the Mantis religiosa in America are Mantis religiosa religiosa. I read that they were.
Thanks Cindy and Thurd13! This was the first mantis I saw this year, so I was especially happy to find it.
Thanks ceherzog! I re-loaded the second photo, so the set should be complete now. :)
Neat shots! Your second shot didn't upload, you might want to give it another try.
