Suillia gigantea

Does anyone know what this is?

I found this Praying Mantis on our garbage and thought it was dead. It was moving really slowly and couldn't keep its balance. I think it was because it was 38°F outside.

I took it in to take a few photos and it started being more active.

I was going to put it back outside after taking its photo, but I wasn't sure if the cold weather would kill it. So I'm keeping it indoors for now, until I can figure out what's best to this little fellow.

I gave it some water by putting the Mantis on a moist paper towel and it immediately started licking it.

Does anyone know how cold a Praying Mantis can tolerate? If I put it back outside in the cold, will it die?... or should I keep it until it warms up again and let it go then? Any help is appreciated...

Thanks...

common, but what is it, please?

These paintbrush wildflowers near Cottonwood Creek were besieged by these little insects I've never seen before. Some insects were green, others brown. Any clue on species is appreciated!

A female Aeolothrips intermedius found in broom (Cytisus scoparius) in brede High Woods. Note basal antenna segments are dark where A.ericae are pale.

Oecanthus latipennis, male. Gryllidae. 2716 Dutch Lane, Newark, Licking County, Ohio. Male singing by vibrating forewings.

I'm obsessed with Pholcidae. Protect them as they are beneficial in the house and in the garden.

They are HARMLESS.
