Mantis Nymph - Gonatista grisea

Mantis Nymph - Gonatista grisea
Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida, USA
May 12, 2019
Size: 1/4"
About the size of a carpenter ant. Moved quickly when I got too close, but stayed motionless when not threatened.
Maybe an ant mimic type of mantis? When I first saw it, it had captured a crazy ant.
