Unidentified Mantis.

[Crittercrazy24]

Hi There,

Last year I was in Honduras and stumbled across a really cute little mantis nymph but I have since been unable to identify it. Any help any one could offer would be highly appreciated! You can check out a photo here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/biophiliacuriosus/4946211549/in/photostream. If anyone has any ideas as to what it is but could use a few more photos let me know and I'll produce some more. Thanks!

It looks like a Budwing mantis nymph (Parasphendale sp) to me. But I don't know if they are found in Honduras, I thought they were from Africa. So it could be I am wrong.

Was it a kind of bark mantis?
