Well here it is. It is about 2" long, and seems nice and healthy. I am not quite sure what it is. O ordered it from marine depot live as a "green mantis". Well duh. It is light green with dark lines on it's body segments. I can't really tell waht it has going on for a meral spot... there is a TINY purple spot, but it looks too small to be a meral spot. It has bright reddish markings on its teslon and small fine white dots near its head. It has a horn and oblong eyes. Here are some bad pictures. Perhaps someone else has some insight.

 

Oh yeah and its raptorial appendages look whitish from this angle...

haha I think he is building it right now lol...I just saw a jet of dust from behind a rock. he is a little shy, but definately curious. I keep catching glimpses of it poking its head out of the rockwork and looking at me lol.
