It was time to get some last minute lawn mowing done before the next major rain event hits this area. I was mowing the lawn at our cabin when this Praying Mantis appeared in the grass. This is a Chinese Praying Mantis (Tenodera sinensis) which was accidentally introduced in Philadelphia back in 1896.
Reaching a length of over 4 inches, Chinese mantises are the biggest of all North American mantises.
