Help ID the new mantis

So , i went into town to run some errands and on my way out of town my kid brother says " hey discount pets has a mantis for 20 bucks " so I immediatly turn around and head to the store lol got him for 16$ !!

 

wenerae i think. jwin will be able to id it for usre though. like me with clams, hes ubsessed lol very beautiful though no matter what kind he is!!!

 

he almost looks like a peacock but colors arent as vivid and his front fans arent colored

 

have any other pictures? What color is the meral spot?

I think its a G. Falcatus though.

 

spots are just grey

 

Meral spots are grey? That rules out falcatus then.

I don't know of any with grey meral spots... could it be white and just appear grey?

I am going to have to change my guess to G. Chiragra. We will know for certain if it gets to be around 4". ;D

I don't think it is a Neogonodactylus, because of the red pereiopods, pleopods, and uropods. I have never seen a neogonodactylus like that. Even when my wennerae was red his legs were still yellow-orangeish.

 

Gonodactylus chiragra
looks the closest so far

 

I would says shes currently 3"

 

Im heading up to Sac tommorow i think i found a male of the same species im gonna look into keeping them both in same tank >,<

 

I agree. Very awesome looking mantis!!! I'm jealous
