Wierd Spiny FLower mantis

[Sparky]

I found this video, it says Spiny Flower mantis, but i dont think it is. Its the strangest but coolest mantis I've seen.

Its brown instead of white.

Oxipilus distinctus? Its a "boxer" of some sort anyways.

 

[Sparky]

I was thinking that too.

OMG! He's so cute!

Looks like a boxer mantis to me.

If you read the comments the people already accomplished that.

i know, had a feeling it was a boxer mantis. I'm just making sure, thanks everyone.

Well, that one comment with the identification was me. :lol:

 

[Andrew]

Ummm...actually it was me. Lol.

I don't know exactly what that mantis is but I don't think it's an oxypulis distinctis. I have 9 of them and their heads are shaped a lot like Ghosts - phyllocrania paradoxa are and they don't have the little spines on the abdoman. I just posted looking for creatomantis sausaussi and I wonder if it's that? It's beautiful though love to know exactly what it is. It does punch like a boxer. Almost looks like some kind of flower boxer.

Is it a cereotomantis? they have similar heads and abdomens but i dont know about them arms

 

[Laemia]

I thought it may be ceratomantis sausurii. Sorry all I spelled that incorrectly in my first post. I looked through my photos and now I don't think it's ceratomantis sausurii. It's head is too wide and the spines all over the abdoman. I'm dying to know what it is though.
