    Great capture! I had a mantis living on my deck for awhile and I found its exuvia a couple days ago. I was wishing that I had caught it in the act! It's so cool that you did! Posted 6 years ago

    Lovely picture, is this a sub-adult then as I don't see any wings, but I know they grow/unfurl once the mantis is out of their old clothing. Posted 6 years ago
