Early spring green, light metal hue, and dedicate stream line, all make this mantis very unique.

 
Will post the female very shortly. You got to see the real thing to appreciate the beauty of this species. Eaglewarrior posted once, but until today, first time I have seen the adult pair, very stunning!

Looks like tenedora (chinese) to me. I have found males here that like just like him with the nice green eyes.

 
I can really see the difference from chinese mantis in the female. She is very petite.

 
Honestly, I do not like T. sinensis for some reasons.

This species really makes lots of difference, and I like that very much, the shape, propotion and coloring and hue.

 
Some more photos.
