    I picked up a new mantis today.. I am acclimating it right now and will snap a pic of it right before I put it in my fuge. So keep posted in the next 20... I believe it is a Neogonodactylus wennerae as it is bright red and about 3".. He is feisty and already broke his little plastic container..
