Awesome!! whichever species it is, its definitely not the one i had. Im pretty sure i had agrionina, based on one thing i read... Agrionina are dark, affinis are light... Hopefully soon we will have the answer. Awesome shot! Is she puking or are those stains from feeding?

Stains from the past xD, grasshoppers.and their stupid vomit.
Looks like you have a nice little camera ham 
Besides feeders and their messes I have had some mantids that seem to puke a bit every now and then, and did so their entire life - while others never did once from L1/L2 nymph to adults (same diets and even same species usually). I guess some mantids are "puke bucket babies" that throw up regularly. Perhaps some overeat, just have a weaker stomachs, taste a bad feeder, or who knows.
Understandable, and a reason I dislike posting pictures unless the mantid is on my hands lol (too many questions/concerns).
