Mabel This is Mabel.  She is a mantis that lives on the lemon tree in my office.  She is the offspring of about a 5" mantis that lived on my lemon tree last year.  She's about an 1" long right now but hopefully will get as large as her mother did last year.  She loves water from a spray bottle so this pic is right after giving her a drink.
