The color is depending on the environment the mantis lives in. Brown usually means it lives on branches, and green could be big leaves or tons of vegetation

It's called *God-horse in Barbados* Have become rare it seems. In the French Caribbean it's called *Cheval de Dieu* which is a literal translation of God-horse.

A god horse is a stick insect. Quite different from a praying mantis, I believe.
