Welcome. For many mantii you can say praying mantii, mantii, praying mantises, mantises, praying mantids, mantids. Praying mantids and mantids are supposed to be for the mantii in the family Mantidae but everybody uses praying mantids and mantids for all mantii. What kind of mantis do you have?

Great. Who told you it was Brunneria borealis. How old is he? He does not look like a Brunneria borealis? If you can put a picture of him here it would be great. :cowboy:

I am not sure about mantii being right. My dad said it was but he might be wrong.

Hehe. More welcomes. Totalz does that mantis have long feathery antennae? I think the only mantis in the United States with feathery antennae are the Brunneria borealis, tell me if there are not.

Brunneria borealis have thickened antennae.  If by "feathery" you mean pectinate, then you would be looking for either Pseudovates arizonae or Pseudovates chlorophaea.
