My wife spotted what she thought was a mantis fly across the backyard this afternoon. A trip outside with the camera confirmed it was a mantis. Unfortunately, it's a non-native European Mantis which is considered invasive and a threat to our native Carolina Mantis.

Preparing for a little getaway so I may be behind on comments, but I will do my best!

Shame about the species, but you sure got a good macro shot of it.

There seems to be a lot of invasive species lately. It is amazing how it blends in. Well captured. V

I have yet to see one this year, but still hoping. We don't have the Carolina Mantis up this way as far as I know, just this one. Fantastic shot of your visitor. V

Excellent shot of this mantis, although too bad it's invasive and you have one right there in your yard.
