Hi everyone, I haven't been on this site for almost a year so I think I missed a bit lol, but does anyone know where the best place to spot an AZ unicorn genera mantis in Arizona? I havent been able to find much detailed location info, thanks!

Hi! You are most likely going to have trouble getting a specific answer to your question. I have never been to AZ (I'm in PA) but I suggest looking in places you'd normally find mantids. Places with a lot of tall grass and leaves.

Both nymphs and adults may be found year round amid low, dense shrubs and other vegetation. Adults most prominently occur throughout June and July.

Distribution map is attached.
