Carolina Mantis

Welcome to Project Noah! Great first spotting. :-) This mantis is a native species! The females do have wings but do not fly. They can come in solid green, brown, grayish and in-between. Since you are new here, I recommend that you take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page (if you haven't already done so): http://www.projectnoah.org/faq This spotting would be a good fit for the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247 I hope you enjoy it here. It is a great community!
