The Chinese Mantis is a species of mantis native to Asia and the nearby islands. In 1896 this species was accidentally introduced by a nurseryperson near Philadelphia.
The Chinese Mantis is a long, slender, brown and green praying mantis. It is typically longer than other mantis species reaching just over 11 cm (4.3 in), and is the largest mantis species in North America.
This image was taken in my yard and at first, I believed it to be a Praying Mantis but after a little research determined it to be an invasive Chinese Mantis.
