_MG_8118 Almost Turquoise!

Was shocked when I spied this one downstairs. It was definitely this color - looking almost turquoise. I think it's a female, judging from the segments in the lower half of the body.

I don't think so...I've seen mantids on this plant before and they didn't have this much cyan in their color. Isabel

It looks like maybe they reflect the colors around them. Patty

How interesting! I am really puzzled as to whether they take on colors of what they rest on but I have not seen it mentioned. Judith
