Must be the season. Able to catch (wild) a few of these. If you are interested, let me know.

I want some. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in my area, except the occasionally "freed" Chinese mantis I let go. And even that's rare. I guess it comes with living in the city.

Beautiful mantis!

Did the colors get brighter after the molt - like a snake's colors do?

 
Nice! Love the HDR colors! Wish I had some G. griseas in NE.

pm if you are interested in this adult and or the subadult pair.

 
Female grizzled mantis is a lot rarer than the male. Even rarer is a female adult grizzled mantis.
