Mantid identification

[xhexdx]

This was collected today in Brooksville, FL. I've never seen any species like it, but that doesn't mean a whole lot since I'm not an expert on mantids anyway...

Thanks to anyone with any info.

maybe it's a mantidfly, or whatever you call them.

correct, mantidfly.

Treat like a little mantid, and find a spider eggsac, wasp nest(with grubs only) or something for it to lay its eggs near.

Anyone know scientific name?

I have a couple sacs I can use from some 'guest' spiders I have in my spider room.
