Hello so I need help identifying my praying mantis.

I found Bender back in July and posted here in the introductions thread. (http://mantidforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=30652&hl=)

Since I just found her in my yard I don't know what type of mantis she is.

People said I should post photos and you guys might be able to help me find out what type of mantis she is, but I wanted to wait until she had gotten a little bigger.

I think shes old enough now and I took some pictures.

I would appreciate any help. If you need more information from me, or more pictures I would be happy to provide you all with everything necessary.

In order to facilitate an ID we need to know where she was found. Appears to be a Stagmomantis sp.

 
Yeah, it's limbata. Try to get a male for her.

Your mantis is pretty! I found my mantises in my back yard also. My favorite one came right up to me and jumped on me! Its also a stagmomantis, a Carolina one :)

 
Looks like a Stagmomantis limbata to me. Here is a picture of a female limbata I had last year, Deirdre. You can see the blue on her lip. If your mantis has that, it is a limbata. :)
