Please take a look at the ID suggestion above and update your spotting. This beauty deserves to be named. Thanks! :-)

Great find! This is a native species. The females have a shorter, wider abdomen with wings that do not reach the end. They do not fly. They can come in green, brown and combinations between.
This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
