[QUOTE="yen_saw, post: 76269, member: 12"] Frack, thanks for bringing the mantis with you and let me have a chance to see the mantis (Also thanks for the turkish roaches!). The mantis you found is actually neither [I]S. carolina [/I](which you already found out earlier) nor [I]T. graminis[/I]. It is actually of [I]Oligonicella sp.[/I] Most likely [I]Oligonicella scudderi[/I]. Glad to see another species found around Houston area and survived Ike!!! I took a few pics of this species. It is an adult male. I am sure you should be able to find more female of this species, but it won't be as easy as the male which were attracted by light and fly.
