    Tonight I went out on my front deck to enjoy the beautiful evening when I discovered this little guy on my flowers. Anyone know what it is? My guess is a praying mantis?

    It's not a praying mantis:

    My guess is Pterophylla camellifolia or a Katydid nymph.

    Oh - by the way. Anyone in the Chicago area keep your eyes open for Brant Miller's weather photos on the 10 oclock news. I sent my picture to him, maybe he'll show it on TV!
