Mantis I.D. Needed

IDESONE

Just got another Mantis today....WOW!!! I'm becoming a Mantis Junkie:D . Anyways I think I have this one narrowed down to Gonodactylaceus ternatensis. If not maybe Gonodactylus smithii. Here are some pics and it does have an orange merel spot and red inter-segmental lines. It's a very nice looking Mantis. I was supposed to be getting a Peacock. This has been my 3rd failed attempt :( but on the other hand i have 3 other Mantis's now:) . Still hoping to get a peacock, so if anybody out there is looking to get rid of one or knows where one is, please let me know.
Thanks
James
