Moss mantis ?

[Mëluzynn]

Found this picture on Pinterest, I'm curious to know that it is ?

It's a mantis that we all want, and about 25% of mp new members eventually make a thread about them. There was a member who said that he had a line to get them, but I don't know how he's doing with that quest.

I think it might be an Acanthops species, but I'm not sure.

It's really a beautiful mantis. I guess the one on the picture is not an adult ?

I'll try to make some research on the web, just for curiosity

And sorry if I open a 17364648844 thread about it...lol
