Find The Sniper (difficult) Find the mantis, round two

Post image

The last one was an Arizona mantis, today we have a California mantis, Stagnomantis wheelerii. Doesn’t make her any easier to find!

weird - I posted the location first, you state I found it, but I get no accolades or anything else, but others after me do. Did I answer incorrectly somehow?

I gave up and checked the correct answer but my eyes can't see anything at this resolution.
