Yeah, Rick said that too. But the arms look too long for a tenodera and the color looks a little off for a tenodera too.
I just hope it isnt a tenodera sinensis. Im paying $30.00 for the ooth lol.
Thanks,
Andrew

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that it is from Africa. Are chinese mantids native to Africa?

I still think it looks like a chinese. Color and everything does. However if it is coming from Africa I am not sure. I guess you could just look up the species from Africa and try to see if it is any of those. Are you getting it from somebody you trust? Somebody might by sending you some chinese and telling you it is something else. Not sure if chinese mantids are also in Africa, I know they are at least in Korea.
