Well, that face looks like a Hierodula to me, but I'm no expert when it comes to species. I've never even had an exotic mantis

On the right track! You're in the general area, but no dice! Forgot to mention you have to be species specific!

I only have a few in the reddish/brown color, but LOADS of greens. Time will tell what they'll end up.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME! ARGH! My second guess was maj, but her upper forearm looked a little strange for a maj.

Also, I heard there was a growth jump around L4. Is it the L3-L4 molt, or the L4-L5 molt? My supposedly L4 is pretty tiny!
