Grizzled Mantis
Check out the Camouflage on this grizzled mantis found on a loblolly pine in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina. Didn’t know what kind of Mantid it was till I searched you site, thanks. Feel Free to post.

Hi Ron,
The big question on our minds is “However did you manage to spot that Grizzled Mantis on that tree?”
Yea, I was surprised to see the bark move and quickly run to the opposite side of the tree when I started to tie some flagging for a wetland delineation. I didn’t know we had such a unique mantid native to SC. Thanks for your site.
Ron
