Chinese Mantis nymph -
Tenodera sinensis
Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
July 23, 2004
This is one of the Chinese Mantid nymphs I released in our yard this spring:
I see wing buds just below the thorax, so my guess is this male (I'm guessing, there are green and brown individuals that I've seen) is a molt or two from adulthood.
