Looking for an ID on this mantis

[sandlot13]

Alrighty, ive been trying to identify the new mantis that i aquired a few weeks ago (Loki, as some of you have read in the other post about it). There wasnt a definite ID, so lets see if these pictures of the meral spots help. This guy is elusive, so hopefully this helps out. The meral spots which once seemed almost purple, now look to be like they are a dark blue with a white border. lemme know what you think

thanks for the help all you mantis lovers out there!
