This is Greenie, pretty sure he's a male, Hierodula membranacea, currently 5th instar and eating mostly small brown crickets. Not sure what else you guys might want to know but happy to chat about this little guy and what I'm doing if it's of interest
 
Cute!! I've got one as well, her name is Rhubarb! They're so big, it was surprising to get her after having finger-sized mantids before. I love the slight pink/red on their legs!

Feeding after another successful molt (got stuck in the very last bit but doesn't seem to have done any harm), which turns out not to have been the last one which was a big surprise!!
 
I had one in my mystery box. She's always the first to catch prey, and is growing at an amazing speed. I'm hoping she stays green. The last one turned into a grey adult.
