Mantis for sale

There is a gorgeous green mantis of some kind at my local lfs, and my tank won't be ready for at least a few weeks. Any takers? I'm gonna go over there and take a picture of it so you folks can figure out what species it is.

Also, they say that they ship. This is in New York City, at a place called Seavision in Astoria. And the price at the store is 19.95.

correction, I just met the owner. He says that he'd rather not ship, if he can avoid it.

BUMP!
Did anybody go for this pretty peacock. It's really gorgeous and active. I feel bad for it. It's a pretty nice LFS, but I fee like they've never had a mantis before. It's in an 11 gallon aquarium with no burrow. It takes live snales with gusto.

No, I kind of lost power from the current rains I guess. Was just concentrating on keeping mine alive. I will try now actually.
