Mexican Unicorn Mantis Phyllovates chlorophaea

Mexican Unicorn Mantis
The Mexican (also called Texan, same species) Unicorn Mantis is native from Texas to northern South America. Thanks to Alexandra Makhnina for the photo from Costa Rica. There are two species of Unicorn Mantis in Costa Rica, the other is Phyllovates cornuta which looks similar and this could be either. The wing cases can be green or yellow depending on season.
