orange mantis please identify

lol yeah definitely a smasher. as to what species? the intersegmental red lines allows me to narrow it down to either a G. ternatensis or a G smithii.

does it have fine white speckles on it? there are two little feathery "wings" on the side of it's head. What colour are they?

when I say smashing dactyls do you know what im talking about? they are the big bulky arms that it uses to hit with. on the inside of each arm there will be a large circular marking. can you describe it?

btw while it chills in that bottle could you please put the bottle in a relatively dark place in your tank? it would help the mantis out greatly. you could also feed it once every three days. grocery store bought frozen shrimp would work fine or some other large meaty food that you have like krill or silverside.
