What a beauty! Totally a subadult by the look of the wings.

I have had folks on the nature boards tell me it is a Carolina mantis. I tried researching but got quickly confused. Apparently the Carolina has different color forms. This beauty was on my front porch in Delaware (US mid-atlantic) about six miles from the coast.

Any more photos of that mantis?

Sorry no. I have kept an eye out for days, no luck in seeing them.
