CMantis92706 - Stagmomantis carolina - near town of Lexington, Lexington County, South Carolina, USA September 27, 2006 Size: ~ 6 inches
I initially found this mantis clinging to my kitchen window screen but moved it to a more photogenic location nearby for this shot. It was interesting watching this mantis mimic a stick bobbing in the wind as it moved through the bush.
