Identification please

Any ideas? Originally had trouble uploading a picture through my phone.  Since then I have added it through my laptop.  See below.

There is no image displayed, there simply is the text IMG_3017.jpeg shown.

If you are unable to upload a photo, then you can upload to a site like Photobucket or another image host. Then you would post the link it gives you to display it on the forum.

To use Photobucket, refer to my images in the post on avatars. Although it is for a different thing, step 4 and step 5 show how to use Photobucket and get the image link with directions and screenshot images.

Sorry I was trying to add it through my phone.  Couldn't get it to work and I have not set-up a photobucket account.

He was originally sold to me as a H. Majuscula, but he doesn't resemble that.

looks a lot like a Sphodromantis of some kind

Indeed there are some problems with adding pictures from a phone since the v4 forum software update for many users, hopefully the software programmers get it resolved soon.

It looks like mantisman 230 has already identified it too.

Looking through some photos it is likely Sphodromantis lineola, as your mantid and that species has orange dots just above it's forearm "elbows" - compare to the photo here and here too. In that regard it isn't Sphodromantis baccettii as they have blue dots.

Thank you for the identification.
