Unknown nymph

Please help me identify this mystery species which I received as a bonus. It is about 1-5/8" long with pinkish eyes.

Sphodromantis lineola?

 

[snowflake]

it could be a African Praying Mantis

 

[JoraMajora]

It looks too light to be a budwing and lacks the characteristic tiger striping.

I thought maybe the photo was a little fuzzy, but your right on tiger stripe part, unless its a fresh molt it's probably not a Budwing... But with a sharpe it could be :lol:

lineola

I know that it could not be the budwing that I had, because I mailed it away last week. I did loose track of what I once thought to be a lineola. Perhaps that is the best guess so far. I thank all who have checked it out for me. Much appeciated!

 

[Termite48]

Thanks Scott, for taking the time and I think being correct. You could not have known I had a lineola that got loose and reappeared grown up a little. I'll keep watching it. Thanks again all of you, Jora Majora and Angelofdeathzz included for your good observations.

I just had to say, as I have 3 different instars and kinda felt it.

Looks a whole lot like a Congo Blue Flash (Sphodromantis sp.). Is the rump speckled?

Definately from the sphrodomantis family
