Is it S. carolina...
or another species?

I have never seen a chrome-plated Mantis before and cannot find any references that describe this color scheme.
If you know a species name I'd appreciate knowing it.

Thanks, John

In the Praying Mantis forum that's sort of fizzled out now (maybe time to revive?), members in Kentucky, WVa and Arkansas posted pictures of those. I think we decided it's a male S. Carolina. Very different than the female.
