I was wondering if any one could help me ID this mantis.

Yea I guess it kinda looks like all three. I might call them tomorrow and see if I can get some more info on it. Any specific questions I could ask to help with the ID?

Whether it's a smasher or spearer, how long they've had it, what they've been feeding it, and if possible, where it came from...

The origin along with smasher or spearer is the most important for ID purposes. Once we have an ID, we can find out whatever else we need to know...

Also: Ask if they can supply additional pictures...

You seem to be one of the few go to guys about Mantis so your the Boss.

You have been dubbed "The Mantis Boss". :shades:

I just went to the site to get the number to call them and it is gone already! :mad2:
Guess the early bird gets the Mantis! :sick:
