Sorry man, looks like a male G. Chiragra to me. I actually liked my Chiragra for what it's worth.

You may have to go online to find a different species. There was a large Peacock for sale at Blue zoo a few days back...

Yeah $90 plus shipping is ridiculous. I had only paid $40 for roger. :/ and I dont really want another peacock

is there anyway i can find it in texas? i'm looking a lot of place but couldn't find it anywhere

You can ask your LFS to order them direct, but they might not have a supplier for Peacocks. Otherwise, you'll have to get them online. I almost never see Peacocks just randomly at an LFS.

Most bali and Indonesian suppliers regularly have peacocks on their order lists (I work in the trade and order myself) the problem with mantis is that unless you order peacock you may very well get absolutely anything.

Sorry to say this, but it is likely to be a chiragra, there is a slight chance it is a viridis but I doubt it.

This is almost a year old...

Yes it is, I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer and forgot to check the date. Sorry.
