This mantis comes from the waters of North Queensland Australia. Any ideas?

given the color, meral spot (orange) and location i'm going to say G. graphuras. Congrats

But I don't see a median carnule. I'll ask for some more booty pics. This isn't mine... it's a friend who lives in Australia.

hmmmm looks like an off coloured Gonodactylaceus ternatensis i know they come from aussie, i live in aus and we get heaps of em.

I think that's the one I was looking at... isn't he the one with the red lines. Can't tell if this one has red lines or not because he's red to begin with.

My guess is a G glabrous. It's basically a G. graphurus but lacks the median carinule.
