Tenodera sinensis
The Chinese Mantis looks like a long and slender praying mantis, that are brown and green. It is typically larger than most other praying mantises, adult females are about 8 centimeters in length. Their color can vary from overall green to brown with a green lateral stripe on the edge of the front wings. In low light the eyes of the mantis appear black, but in daylight appear to be clear, matching the color of the head.

Thanks again Leana! No problem with the burger when if you will go to Quezon City :-) but you got your SOTD patch on your first spotting! I'm not sure if that is a "record" here in PN. You deserve more than a burger for that :-)
I'm a bit late to see this. Congratulations Noel. We are happy for you. Nice job kabayan.
Well earned patch Noel! Congratulations again... pa burger ka naman :-)
