bsharf,

That is a great picture of a Praying Mantis, but it has been pointed out to me that it is not the Carolina Mantis, which has wings markedly shorter than its body.

I believe it is an image of the European Mantis - Mantis religiosa: http://bugguide.net/node/view/234299/bgimage

If you agree, I would like to move your image to our page for the European Mantis: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/4054/

Thank you,
I wasn't quite right, I found that it is actually the Chinese Mantid - Tenodera aridifolia, so I have moved your image to that species and you can now view it here: http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/283/

I am pretty sure it is a Chinese Mantis too.
