Carolina mantis displaying wings - Stagmomantis carolina - Washington, District of Columbia, USA September 4, 2012 Size: ca. 3 in
Saw this around 10:30 this morning sitting in the middle of the sidewalk near a wooded area, looking like a dead leaf. When I gently nudged it to try to get it out of danger of being stepped on, it reared up, assuming a martial arts pose, and spread its wings.
