Hi Forest Dragon ,could it be this same baby that reached adulthood? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1807266002 or maybe it is this baby's mother?

Pretty coloration on this mantis. I believe it may be a female from genus Stagmomantis. http://bugguide.net/node/view/699837 Not sure of the species. Please consider adding all of your mantis spottings to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission. They would be great additions. :-) http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
