Hi everyone, I was in my garden the other day when I came across this praying mantis, I was wondering if the coloring is normal, or seasonal? Or if this is a different type of mantis than the usual green ones?
I apologize about the name in the photo, I posted it before I realized that I hadn’t cropped it out, and now I am only able to edit the text, not the post itself, again I apologize for the profanity, Jake.
