[QUOTE="Ntsees, post: 225030, member: 3218"] Nice comparison between the supposed "floridensis", the true floridensis, and carolina. Since you have the wings opened for both the "floridensis" and carolina, have you checked with a microscope/magnifying glass to see if the wing veining on the forewing is the same/different? When I took entomology years ago, that's what the class used to identify insect species that looked similar and so it should apply for mantids. As for my opinion on the identification, I think the "floridensis" is a large carolina. I do not use length and tend to use body formation and patterns for identification. [/QUOTE]
