저는 한국에 학교 안다녀서 한국어 부적합니다. 재송함...
뒷날개가 다 찐한색 있스니까 이 사마귀는 왕사마귀 이다. 참사마귀 는 뒷날개에 찐한색 별로 업고, 그리고 거위다 투문한 뒷날개 가지고 있슴니다.
Only two species of Tenodera in South Korea. This one has the wing markings of Tenodera sinensis while the other species, Tenodera angustipennis, does not have very much markings on the hindwings, just a thin strip of markings.
This looks very much like a mantis from genus Tenodera: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenodera Coloration of the wings and body shape are similar to Tenodera sinensis but I am not sure what other species are in your area. Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission. http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247 I have removed this spotting from the other missions since it doesn't meet the requirements of those missions.
