Wouah!What a green!I had never seen sush a flashy one!It is a Brunneria borealis.
They look quiet but they are very cannibalistic(separate them around L4-l5).
It is parthogenetic.So keep it and you will have at least a dozen of ooths.
And if you could then keep one for me I would be very pleased(mine are not that green!)
You can give it a little "shower" once a day.
Good luck!

The Scorpion and the Frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."
The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"
Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
Beautiful pics!

Yeah, definitely a B. borealis with the thickness of those antennae. And yeah, this species is all females. Man yours was such a mean little bugger! She needs some time on the time out chair in the corner... Nice shade of green!

Gruesome! nice pic Yes if you put two hungry mantis together, one will end up being eaten, regardless of species.
