Great Insect. Around here, they are the only predator to what has now become a plaque of invasive Lantern Flies. I wish we had more of them. I once had a green one, ride along on my shoulder as I was walked through my fields. I love these gals. Too bad about the males though... they give their life to continue the species.
Artist Reply: I agree with you Mann it's really misfortunate to be a husband in mantis society
