In 30 years of living in this town, I've only ever seen two Mantids (sp?) the first was all green, and this gal who landed on me a few days ago and made me just about jump out of my garden crocs, and I found her again in the same garden area last night as I was watering. She didn't seem to appreciate me dousing her and jumped from one plant to another, I wouldn't have seen her otherwise. She's tan and about 4 inches long. Any ideas as to which one she is.
