Wow, look at those eyes!!
Thanks Ashish. I didn't expect this species because the color is not really green but multicolored which, I suppose is not surprising for a species that has two color forms. This made it look quite spectacular especially with the red eyes.
This is the false garden mantis. The male has full length wings and will readily fly away over a short distance to escape from a predator.
