Does anyone know what species this Praying Mantis is? I was told it was an introduced species from Asia but haven't been able to confirm. Thanks

Stagmomantis?
It isn't a European, as it doesn't have the "bullseye" on the underside of the upper front legs. I believe this is a Stagmomantis species, but don't know which one.

Agreed.
This is an adult female Stagmomantis sp. In Mantis religiosa, the wings cover the entire abdomen in both genders.
