RE: id help please

MMMmmmm.  They rather match the color of leaves, Donna.  They camouflage
effectively and when holding dead still (which they do for long periods) you
just can't see them that well.  Congratulations on your new garden army

(I'll be on the lookout for any in my yard for sure now that I know what a
praying mantis case looks like!)

Blessings,

Bonnie
