Praying mantis and walking stick. First I've seen this year.

Have seen quite a few of each here. There are four or five praying mantis that end up in the hallway outside my place. Been seeing them for about a month now.

Couple months ago i seen a bunch of baby mantis on my closed bow boat.. all running around.. probably hatched near there.
2 days ago i had a big mantis fly into my garage at night...I left the garage door open and light off as he was flying towards the lights..He left the garage and i shut the door..he was Tan color.

Never thought to take a picture..
Nice pictures you got of them.
I have not seen a walking stick in a long time..You know some have wings and fly

Trimmed the bushes in my backyard about 3 weeks ago. Saw 5 or 6. They like to jump out as if to say "come at me bro". Did my best to relocate them to the remaining bushes.

Weird, saw a Praying Mantis; first one I've seen in a long time right inside the patio door this afternoon. I gently scooted him back outside to enjoy his bug buffet.
