Which part of Mexico?

 

[wuwu]

Whoa I thought these were only in South America

I may be in Mexico in March. Did YOU photograph this in Mexico? If so, what part? We North Americans love to see this on the continent! See any other interesting bugs?

hooded mantises are my favorite mantises. If I get to go to Costa Rica this spring I hope to see one.

Thought I deleted this thread. I figured out what it was right after I posted it. A friend took this picture. Not sure where exactly in Mexico. He saw a couple other mantids as well.
