WILD MANTIDS

[massaman]

What instar would a wild mantis be at this time like first tier (Instar)

I wanted to go out and look for some wild ones but they probably too small right now to find in the tall grass!

Course all the other insects are way easier to find like spiders,crickets and grasshoppers which I dont want right now and i had a strange notion that i want to be a entomologist but i think i am too old LOL at 38 to take courses online or college heh!

Probably L1 if the temperature has been around the 70's (at least in the 70's) for at least 7 weeks. L2 if it's been that temp. for about 10-12 weeks.

Not very big. They are likely L4 or larger here.

All depends on what you're looking for.
