Species/Specimen ID, please?

So, I went out on a first date with someone last night who knows I love mantids. He brought me a gift. Which is super sweet and thoughtful. But it kinda bummed me out. LOL

Anyway.... can anyone help me identify my new dead bug? Thanks!

Deroplatys Dessicata?

 

[LLCoolJew]

Seems like a good guess to me! Thanks!

Might be Deroplatys lobata

Not a dessicata because of the pronotum.Looks like a D.lobata.

deroplatys lobata adult female.

I agree; Found this photo, and it seems Deroplatys lobata is the right call! Thanks so much everyone!!!!

Wow! That is pretty smooth of him! :flowers:

So, if i give you a live one. would this guarantee me first base? :kiss: :lol:

(My wife just smacked me in the back of the head!) inch:

I cant imagine what she would be so upset about? :innocent: :lol:

Looks like a lobata to me.

Ha-ha! :lol: It's a good thing you didn't tell him you like kittens or he would have brought you a dead cat.

Dating is tricky. He was nice, but turned out to be married (claims to be "separated"), so we won't be going out again. Sigh.

We men can be such scoundrel's sometimes :devil2: , so did you spot the no tan on his ring finger? Or was it more obvious like his cell phone rang and he said "yes dear" :lol:

Either way It won't be hard for you to find someone special someday soon with all the high quility ammo you have, so smile LL.

Aren't all the good ones married or gay? :lol:

lol It is a pretty thoughtful gift, even if it's dead.
