Chinese Mantis

Description:

we see many of these praying mantis' in our backyard. we r curious to what kind they are though. here is one on 9/20.... we see 2 more in the next few days. I will post them too. not sure if it's the same one because they each look different. they all allow my brother to let them walk on him too! he then brings them to the front yard where there is vegetation. :)

Notes:

we are stumped because there is no vegetation in our yard except a small patch of weeds now and then.
