anyone knows the ID?

I didn´t keep it, just the photo.

really nice one. =)
i am not 100% sure, but the large abdomen and colors make me think of a budwing mantis. a problem that it lives in africa, but it could always be an escaped pet, right?

I am 100% positive it is not a "budwing mantis" Other than that I have no idea, but it is neat, and a good pic too.
can't kill me for trying (or using common names), i'm new at this.

okay, i get it. jeez, i thought the rules said that you couldn't discriminate because of knowledge (or lack thereof).
