Need ID on a mantis!! (Neogonodactylus curacaoensis?)

[esco]

After looking through "Dr. Roy's List" ... I think I have a Neogonodactylus curacaoensis. It's about 3'' long, personality seems extremely shy, somewhat timid. Since I'm not completely sure about the ID I'd appreciate any/all help with the proper identification of this particular mantis.

here are some pictures during acclimation:

Maybe a Gonodactylaceus ternatensis?. Your's definitely has a similar coloration. Nice photos by the way, most people only can't get good photos so they can't get a positive ID.

ahh, now that you pointed that out, I do see the resemblence. I think it could be a female G. ternatensis b/c of the uropods & antennal scales.

Thanks Frosty

It is definitely a female Gonodactylaceus ternatensis.
A male has blue uropods and antennal scales.
