Field Notes

Description:

Light tan praying mantis. It can be distinguished by a black-ringed spot beneath the fore coxae(Front leg). I'm not sure if it's male or female, but I named it Monty.

Habitat:

Originally found in our bathroom, it's now living in a rose garden.

I think it's just your run of the mill praying mantis, they can have different colorations depending on what's best suited for where they live but they're still the same species
