I am not sure if females have the ear. Some males of some species of mantises have an ear. http://www.mantislab.com/Home.html

Cool! Did you know they only have one ear?
Mr. Goldfish
Probably S. limbata because of the "blue lip". A guy who has kept Stagmomantis species says that S. limbata are the only ones he has seen with the blue.

Beautiful shot! Do you have any other views of this wonderful insect? It may be difficult to find the species without further images.
