[QUOTE="yen_saw, post: 131641, member: 12"] dr walkrr, Arizona is a great place for finding mantis. Besides a pair of keen eyes and luck, timing and knowing the mantis habitat help. Late Summer is the best time as mantis are more visible and active especially on a hot and muggy day. Ground mantis are easy to find on the barren hill slope with loose gravel and rocks, especially when the sun was low in the sky - more shadows. Mesquite tree is popular host for Stagmomantis sp. I saw plenty of egg cases on my recent trip. Even Arizona unicorn mantis been spotted laying ootheca on this type of tree. Buggy area with knee high grasses are prime location for Yersiniops mantis, a butterfly net would definitely help, but separating the Yersiniops from grasshopper is not easy task. [/QUOTE]
