Sleeping on my screen. So cute!!
My home inspector found this one!
Found in my San Diego County garden on a guava tree branch. I incorrectly guessed Stagmomantis carolina. So far Stagmomantis limbata is winning! Giant thanks for taking the time to review my submission so I can continue to learn. :)
Either California or Arizona mantis, but I wasn't confident enough to make an id. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of the front. Bright orange abdomen.
Found on my compost bin, theory, it thinks the bin is a tree and is waiting for food.
