Grizzled Mantis

I agree Dave, it was the outstretched wings that had me looking a little harder to identify. I have never seen one with wings extended either and wasn't sure due to that.

Cheers back at you, Apple

Whoops. Apple beat me to it by a minute. Definitely looks like G.grisea to me but I had never seen one with its wings extended before. There are some pics on bugguide.net that match the wings, though.

Cheers,
Dave

I am not positive but it seems like a grizzled mantis to me. They are a species in Florida. And come in great camouflage.

Very cool!
