Where are these found?
I think my son found one of these in the central sierra foothills, California. Is this possible?

I saw one on my car
I am interested in this guy. I think I saw one 4 days after I saw the largest praying mantis at my house. Never seen this kind of stuff on the border of La Canada / La Crescenta. Hae you found any more info on it?
