Field Notes

Description:

Praying mantis female. It is common to find these praying mantis in Guadalajara, Mexico during the rainy season. However I'm not quite sure what species it is.

Neat series! Welcome to Project Noah! If you have any photos in good lighting of the whole body, we might have a better idea of what species this is. It is a bit hard to tell from these images (though they are lovely, from an artistic point of view!). Since you are new here, it would be a good idea to read through the FAQ page. http://www.projectnoah.org/faq This spotting would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
