Stagmomantis (Halloween Mantis) - Stagmomantis - Female
Northridge, Los Angeles County, California, USA
October 31, 2006
I found this big girl last Halloween, she fell out of a tree right in front of me. She laid 3 ooths that started hatching May 2007.
She may be a Stagmomantis Carolina or Limbata, not sure which one.
