This is the classic mantis. It was
introduced into the US from China. Now it is one of the most common
species, coast to coast. Only Mantis religiosa comes a close second as
most popularly encountered US species. This is a great beginner species,
as the nymphs are voracious, hardy, and grow quickly!
