:I live in San Diego. Today, a weird little bug wafted down on the breeze. Superficially, it resembles a stick insect, but the front legs are modified into mantis-like arms. It's about 2 inches long, very thin, may have wings.

:I'd sure like a clue as to its identity so I can look it up. (it's currently in a nice jar)

:Hopefully I'll be able to get some pix of this tiny animal.


hi there,

what you might have found could be a Mantispa spec..

if you could make it with a photo i could say more
