We raised $1,700 that will go towards the construction of an exhibit for ‘Paul’ the rescued Black-throated Monitor (the total cost will be around $5k).

Here is a European Mantis (Mantis religiosa ), the other introduced mantid species I don't see nearly as often as the Chinese Mantid (Tenodera sinensis). The European Mantis is much smaller, this adult male was only about 3-inches long. Usually they are green, but they also come in lemon flavor.
