Meral spots...

[ehawk]

How many have purple ones? I am trying to ID a smasher type that I picked up over the weekend. I do not have access to a digital camera right now. I did notice the purplish meral spots though. The rest of the body is fairly greenish and non-descript.

I found two, the smithii, and the carribean rock mantis. Any others?

TIA

G. smithii is the only one that I know iof with purple spots.
Great find, if it is a smithii, a very puygoing little mantis.

Neogonodactylus oerstedii also has purple spots.
