Hey guys, I just got this mantis from my LFS, and they didn't know what species it is. The body is olive green, and I didn't notice any intersegmental stripes, but I'll get a better picture of the body when he comes out of his den. Orange meral spot, and his uropods are similar in color to the antennal scales in the pic. Anybody know what species he is? Im thinking G Glabrous, but Im not sure. Thanks in advance!

looks like a peacock mantis hard to tell in the shadow, why not stick a finger in there to see if he pops out? JK
I thought peacocks had blue meral spots, but he also doesnt have the typical patterning. Ill try and see if he'll take food now that he's been in the tank a day, and if he comes out Ill grab a pic

Couldn't get a picture cause he ran off to his hole almost instantly, but I saw the red stripes on his back. Almost positive this is a G Ternatensis now.
