Mantis Shrimp ID

[Isaacthedev]

Since it was difficult to ID my mantis I decided to post better photos.  Think it is between a peacock, G. smithiii or G. Chikara

 

here are photos

Doesn't look like a peacock. What color are the mueral spots?

 

Looks like smithii of the 3 you listed. Purple or red mueral spot with white ring is what you would look for.

 

Color of the mantis themselves is variable.

No purple spot but I think it may be this: https://ucmp.berkeley.edu/arthropoda/crustacea/malacostraca/eumalacostraca/royslist/species.php?name=g_chiragra thoughts?

ahh ok I thought they were dark spots in the photos.

 

If all white, then chiragra or wennerae or bredini all have white spots.

 

He looks pretty large? If so then chiragra fits.

nooo he's small I would say like 2 inches maximum
