Female Carolina mantis, Stagmomantis carolina, from Iowa (10/28/16). This was the first time I'd ever seen this native species here in my home state after many years of looking.
Adult male Pseudovates sp., by far the largest praying mantis encountered on my Panama trip.
Bark mantis (Liturgusa sp.) from Panama. These exceptionally speedy mantises are a common sight on tree trunks in Central America.
