Exclamation Please Identify!

Please identify my mantis. It has Rusty red on its back and is green on the bottom. I couldnt post a picture so I had to describe him.
THANKS

Sorry, but this description could fit lots of species. How big is it, where did it come from, what shape is the eye (globular vs. bi-lobed), etc.

Sorry, I'm still at a loss. If you ever get an image, send it to me and I'll do my best to ID it.

My best guess is Neogonodactylus wennerae, but that is only a guess.
