Field Notes

Description:

Not a great pic, this thing was fast. And. Um. It had wings? I never knew praying mantis had wings? At first I thought it was a stick bug because it was so skinny..... So, it kept flying away, but wanted to post a pic to see if anyone had an idea for an ID. :)

Notes:

Praying Mantis, Brown, Wings
