Nice pic... not too special, but still nice detail, and good pose! I just got my chinese mantids to mate last night...
What species? I don't have many species (well, ok, only tenodera sinesis...), but I'm trying to get some more... Any for sale? lol

It is probably a Iris oratoria but could be Stagmomantis limbata not sure on that account. Phil can you tell from this pic?
