Hello,
I would like to have your opinion on this one I found at edge of a drying pool in center of France. Is it
O schembrii? I know there is other species in France, but don't know how to separate them.

The front tarsi of
schembrii are orange, so this is in the
mantis complex. From the abdominal markings, I would say this is
manicata, but I have not seen the third species,
palearctica, which has been reported from France. To be sure, you would need to catch a male and examine the genitalia.

I have it and it is a male :)
But I won't have my camera for a month, so maybe you can tell me what to look at and I'll check
Thanks for your help!
