Praying Mantis
Sphodromantis viridis
40.0764, -74.1275
Field Notes
Description:
Leafy looking insect that actually looks like it's praying. So cool.
Habitat:
They love on every continent but Antarctica. They don't make nests or hives. They live on shrubs trees flowers and grass. They find homes where they can camouflage themselves.
Notes:
This is one of coolest yet creepiest bugs out there. And I'm pretty sure it is illegal to kill them. And they make a good biological pesticide. So put the in your gardens and greenhouses.
