Mex. unicorn mantis found in Falcon State Park
Falcon State Park, Starr County, Texas, USA
April 5, 2008
This bug was perched on a cluster of Crucita flowers, and after I took this photo, he stretched out, possibly to appear even more like a twig.

Looks like
Arizona Unicorn Mantis (Pseudovates arizonae)

but I suppose there is a small chance that it is this one instead.
