User's notes

Found in suburban garden in Moncrieff. I initially thought it looked like European mantis (Mantis religiosa) but it is not listed in dropdown for this region.

I have another photo which must have been too large. It shows its left front underarm which has a black and orange patch and a series of yellow dots down to the elbow. Is there some way I can load this photo if I reduce its size?

Mantis religosa is not recorded in Australia - sorry for taking so long to get to this sighting - Images of up to 32MB can be loaded into Naturemap - if you reduce the size to below this it should work - there are diagnostic features within "praying mantis' front legs
