This little fella is a very young one. He only measures out at about 1-1/2 to 2 inches. How do I add this the the global Mantis mission.
Great find! It's hard to say which species this is, though, with those bulbous eyes I am leaning towards a Carolina Mantis (Stagmomantis carolina). Do you have any other views of this cutie? Here is a link to the Bug Guide page for S. carolina: http://bugguide.net/node/view/4821 Please consider adding this to the global Mantis mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
