Can anyone ID this species?

[-MK-]

I just found this video. The little guy appears to be missing a leg, but the coloring of this mantis is really cool. Can anyone tell the class what kind it is?

Bueller? Anybody?

Not sure.. But looks really neat

I think it bust be one of Hierodula or Sphodromantis species.

It's got too many patterns don't you think?

Rhombodera fusca maybe?http://www.ukmantisforums.co.uk/mantis-species-gallery/10264-rhombodera-fusca.html

You might be right. However, many Sphodromantis nymphs have a pattern that is similar to one one seen on the video.

I would say its a def not a spodromantis at all is it from Central America ??? Looks like a sp of mio mantis I've seen many years ago ! But could be wrong !!! I'm going to take a still pick enlarge it and take it to the university and I think I can figure out what it is I think it also had a parasite under it as it looks like it was irritated trying to brush it away when it jerked its legs like that ! Nope was just a broken leg sorry I'm blind today ?

My Sphodromantis sp. "Blue Flash" I had looked similar to this.
