You're very welcome! That observations website is fantastic, I've got a little bioacoustics community and I'm going to add it to the list of resources there, thanks for sharing it!

I don't think I've ever seen a praying mantis in real life until now. This is in Okinawa, Japan. Most of the time, she was rocking back like this, and whenever I would get close she would stretch out to climb on me. She would sort of fly a little bit sometimes, and when I found her, she was on my balcony, but she hasn't been back around since the day I saw her. I read that they are the only insect that can turn their heads independent of their bodies. Also, there is a Spiny Flower Mantis that is definetly worth checking out!

Edit: fixed a link.
