Little Yucatan Mantis

(Mantoida Maya) These small mantids can found in the southern states of the US, such as Florida and Arizona. They are known to move rapidly, making it difficult to any snapshots of the insect. Nymphs has been mistaken for ants, and adults mistaken for sawflies, as it does closely resemble them. It seems as if not much more information has been documented on this particular mantis specie.
