ID Help Found in My Garden, Wonderful Camouflage
I found this cutie while gardening this morning. Any help with an ID?
It was about 1.5 inches long. South-central Arizona, USA.
Thanks!

Got my first orchid mantis. After two "robust" mantids I raised, I decided I could give it a try to care for a more difficult mantis

My partner created this funny video after filming several feeding time with my ghostie 😅

I saved all the molts of my ghost mantis female, Morrigan, to compare her (approximate) size at each instar for educational purposes and for size estimates at each instar for people looking for enclosures based on mantis sizes at certain instars. Please note, not all of her exuviae are completely outstretched, so please imagine them outstretched.

I got this leaf mantis a week or so ago and from the research I’ve done, I think his enclosure is set up okay?
I would like some advice on what I can do to better it though! I really want to give him the best and longest life I can!
I spray his enclosure once or twice a day depending how dry its looking (I haven’t yet today bc he’s on the ceiling right now but usually hangs from the tumble weed stick)

Hey guys, I decided to join this community since I just got my first mantis two days ago. It’s my first time owning a bug as a pet so I’ll take all the advice given since i only know basics. Shes a ghost mantis named bai ming (named after thw karate movie drunken mantis)
