Preying MantisWhat’s this bug?? Some type of Preying Mantis
Hallo there.
I stay in Tzaneen, South Africa. I found this Praying Mantis on the flowers of a Duranta shrub. Looks like it might be the African Mantis. Any comments would be appreciated. Regards

Hi Johan,
This is indeed a Preying Mantis, a Spiny Flower Mantis, Pseudocreobotra ocellata or Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii.
