Thanks! Don't let the pictures fool you...the violins are really tough to photograph! They sway from side to side nonstop, so 90% of the time they're blurry pics. I'll hopefully have some mating pics up soon.

Thanks! I've got a nice big vegetable garden where I release the rest of the native mantids. She was sitting motionless on the wire fence. This type of phasmid is very common in my area this time of year.
