Found in my San Diego County garden on a guava tree branch. I incorrectly guessed Stagmomantis carolina. So far Stagmomantis limbata is winning! Giant thanks for taking the time to review my submission so I can continue to learn. :)

I'm not sure what I found in my garden. This is as close as I could get before it flew away. The forelegs are really strong looking so I'm suspecting a robber fly of some type.

I have a collection of Frits in my garden. They showed up on their own but marking them as captive since they are in a garden setting.
