Unknown 'Pod - Looking For ID

Looks shrimp-like, how big is it? Maybe a mantis? Just a guess.

Guessing Mantis. However, just try to hold onto it so that an experienced person can identify it.

I don't think it's a mantis. It eyes aren't on stalks.

Good point clifford. Nvm on the mantis guess.

It's about 7/8 of an inch - The pic is a bit clearer if you enlarge it.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure it's not a stomatopod. . .
