Funny bumping into you here ROCKSY

You need to find out the latin name on the stud. Then finding info and pics will be alot easier. He looks awsome, Great Pic!

What is the latin name for the "true green" mantid? I've never heard that common name before. "Green" could describe more than a few mantids.
