Welcome to Project Noah! This pretty mantis looks more like a Mediterranean Mantis, Iris oratoria. This one would be a female. Please take a look at the images on the link I provided and see what you think! http://bugguide.net/node/view/71486 Since you are new here, I recommend that you take a few minutes to read through the FAQ page (if you haven't already). http://www.projectnoah.org/faq Additionally, this would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
