Thank you for the information. I have posted a photo of a praying mantis's face. It is a different mantis but it's face nonetheless. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful adult female mantis from genus Stagmomantis. Do you have any photos of the face where you can see the upper lip? There are a couple of species found in your area and they do look somewhat similar. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpag...

This could be added to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
