Wow. I had to decide that it wasn't green -- the ones I have seen have been -- and then it kind of popped out.

I didn't even know we had them in N. IL--it was complete serendipity to see this one as I trudged through the canary grass by the pond. Dad used to find walking sticks, but never a praying mantis. I then finished the pond tour, returned to the house for my camera, and came back to find it hadn't moved far. R. says it's little one (it's about 4 in)--he used to catch them in his yard in Cleveland.
