Stagmomantis limbata
Wondered if she would eat him when they finished, but she never got the chance as they were both eaten by a large, beautiful, Black & Yellow Garden Spider!

This is a Stagmomantis species. Here is a link, there aren't too many of them, but they do look similar. S. limbata has a blue upper lip and there are some differences in wing color. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpag...
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
Hopefully she spares his life!
