Found this Praying Mantise, (Stagmomantis) eclosing in the Ranch last week. Garden treasure hunts are the best!
A Praying Mantise, (Stagmomantis) eclosing (scientific term for insect emerging) from it's juvenile cuticle (the remaining molt-like shed that resembles the smaller stage of the insect.) The mantise abdomen still remains as he wiggles out. He or she is bright green against a silvery green leaf.

Excited to present a workshop guiding local youth with community science impact projects this Saturday at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.
Sustainable C.H.A.N.G.E.S. Youth Summit High school students are invited to this free, inspiring event to network, organize, and tackle critical issues with support from Huntington experts and local environmental organizations. Teen participants will craft an impact project, apply for financial support, engage in hands-on learning, and cultivate a better future together.
