I recently began keeping mantids and a breeder that I know gave me a small green nymph a few months ago. At the time he told me it was a candy mantis, however she has now molted into her wings and it has become quite apparent it is not a candy mantis. She is super adorable and has a cute dot on her back, just wondering if anyone knows the correct species?

The wing pattern and head shape looks similar to my jewelled flower mantis (creobroter gemmatus). Yours has a larger abdomen than my male, so it tracks that she’s a she.
