 This guy has been living on my fig tree since he was a baby (could be a female, I have no idea).

I make sure to greet him every day. He doesn’t like that I try to pet him. https://i.nostr.build/RdKABF94LZcKh4Ez.jpg  
 That’s so awesome! 
Thanks for sharing💚 
 Does look more like a female but I’m no expert 
 How long are the antennas? If very long, it’s a male 
 Not sure 
 I love mantids. 
 I'd be wary of you too!

 Maybe he’s afraid of those big eyes 👀  
 Don’t pet me, I’m a grown ass mantis. 
 I don’t know why but I can imagine you trying to pet her/him 😄 
 Helpful little guys.  😊
As long as they’re not the invasive type for your region.
