While walking the trail to the beach, I was chasing after red Damselflies that were everywhere — but kept moving out of camera shot quickly. When I saw a stem of dune grass move, I leaned down to see what it was and found this beauty!
Since my focus for learning right now is on birds, I’m not sure what specific subfamily this Mantidae (praying mantis) belongs to. I always welcome information about specifics from anyone who knows!
