*UPDATE* The mystery has been solved by mtbmike. This is a katydid--not a mantis.


A praying mantis hangin' out near the stairs. It was like he was just waiting to be photographed, except he refused to do any cool poses for me.



A little closer.

You can't ask them too much. At least it posed instead of running away.

I think it is not a mantis... But your shots are very good :)

Reflex, I think you're right. I was just looking at the praying mantis in Wikipedia and the head and neck is totally different. Oh well.

Woah! Found my way to this blog after some wandering, and who knew it would answer one of my forgotten questions! I found one of these on our doorstep back in October and was wondering what it was, but never got around to looking it up!
:D

To go with the answers, great pictures here too!
