Taymin was a beautiful pale brown mantis. I found her near the propane tanks while weed whacking. I don't remember much about her, except that she was my most mantis-aggressive pet that year. She tried to kill Akyla and she snuck up on Akyla. The Akyla one I could understand, since she didn't seem to be a fan of his attempts to climb on top of her, but Nansen was just standing there, sick, a few inches away from her. Taymin never passed up a chance for a meal.
I eventually released Taymin (European) into the backyard out of guilt.
