Stagmomantis carolina
Brown body with 4 green legs and two brownish red front legs. About 4-5 inches in length. Able to fly, very alert, and active.
Found in a grassy area with woods near by it.
Beautiful images, Sara! This is actually a native species, a Carolina Mantis. This one is a male. I would love to see this added to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
