mygardens,

I have had a message suggesting that your mantis picture is not the Carolina Mantid (Stagmomantis carolina): http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/141/
http://bugguide.net/node/view/4821/bgimage
but is in fact the Chinese Mantis (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis):

I agree with this assessment, and with your permission, I would like to transfer your image to the Chinese Mantis page,

You have quite a job keeping on top of all this. Certainly feel free to put this is the right category. I appreciate all the help from the DG staff and members.

Hemophobic,

I think yours is probably the Chinese Mantid (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis): http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/showimage/574/

but I cannot be certain
