he is a lime mantis according to what was labeled at the LFS. About 3.5 inches long is named lieutenant kamikaze.

I finally got some pictures of my mantis. I have done extended research to properly identify it and i have come to conclude that mine is a G. Ternatensis.

here's the tank. 5.5G aga. it is aquascape to be seen from 3 sides.

Yes, that is very nice. G ternatensis is one of my favorites by far. Please keep us updated as to how interactived it is.

thanks for the comments.

so far it's only been 4 days so she is probably still getting use to her new home and etcc....i'll keep you guys updated as to how interactive she is. So far she just make threats at me every now and then if i look at her. She is already trained to eat out of a tube thingy too.
