Walking stick? Praying Mantis? Stick Mantis? Sonoma County, California.
Found this picture of a bug that looks like a lizard. I'm assuming the "tail" has something to do with reproduction but what is the bug itself? It looks like a katydid crossed with a mantis and a stick insect! imgur.com/gallery/EeHQ6jh

This is my succulent Henry! I got him from a coworker. 1st photo is when I got him, 2nd photos last month when a mantis visited, last photos today. I repotted him today! How do I help that growth on his side? Do I use a stick? reddit.com/gallery/q60cd3
Why does my mantis ocassionally tremble? (Not "I'm a stick" rocking but sudden fullbody shake.) He did it several times when I came over since moving to his big enclosure. He just molted safely, but trembled again today. Is he ok? 😥
I’m up to 17 insects and one arachnid in my critter collection! I have a dragonfly on its way from Finland. Except for the spider and mantis I’m trying to stick to circulation issued coins. It’s a fun treasure hunt! reddit.com/gallery/pigxv8

Was cleaning my grill and saw this little guy. At first I thought it was a baby mantis, but at closer inspection I quickly saw it wasn't. Baby stick bug maybe? North Texas, Texoma region.
Hey insect people of reddit! Does anyone know what insect this is? It looks like a sort of mantis-walking stick hybrid. Thank you!

Some odd type of Praying Mantis/Stick Insect
I just found this really odd Stick Insect/Praying Mantis (I'm not sure, it looks like both) insect.Dunno if this is new, but it definitely seems odd. Like it's eyes are solid white, and it has these weird things on it's leg joints. The closest google search I've found is "black ghost mantis". :D

Saw this little mantis chillin at the base of my Yoshino Cherry. Hope he/she sticks around as a defender of my bonsai garden. I wonder if it knows Kung Fu...

Stick Bug/Mantis? in Central Florida v.redd.it/w9ubezs4mt961
On a walk yesterday I found a new (to me) species I’ve never heard of! Brunner’s mantis, Brunneria borealis. The only mantis species to reproduce by parthogenesis or without a male. I thought it was a stick bug nymph but her mantis arms fascinated me!
Early in the morning I found this mantis defending my apartment door. Moved it with a stick to a nearby bush so nobody would open the door and kill it. Don't know much about insects, but was hoping this sub could tell me anything they could tell about it. Is this a Mantis religiosa? (Denver CO) reddit.com/gallery/i76ln8

I found this on my praying mantis’s stick. It popped up there around Maybe 2 days ago. I was wondering if this is a egg sack or just a random fungus. My praying mantis is female.
