Two tone hunter

First time in my life I have seen a praying mantis that is two colors.

@marlboromaam How can you tell them apart?

@milaniet Thanks, it was not the most cooperative subject, but given enough time.....

@teriyakih The males have wings and can fly. The females have no wings and hang around areas for a while - where a male will not stick around. Females also have only six segments on the abdomen and males have eight. =)
