Gas station mantis

Hey! This is great! My daughter found one of those when we went to Fire Island last week (in NYS, off the coast of Long Island). I wasn't sure either about what species it was, since you normally just find Chinese there....It is a really pretty species.

Post a pic and someone can ID it for you! I'd like to see too....

Hey Laura,

I didn't take a pic - but I guess I didn't need to. Spitting image of Ghostie's.

They're really neat - great wing detail, and the arm spots are cool.
