Looks great, great DOF from the antenna to the surface, it's sharp and there is a lot of detail! :)
That's one of the newer species, correct?

So cool! I bought 6 oothecas from Amazon in the spring, and my son and I have found at least 6 different Praying Mantis's (Mantii?) in the yard over the past few weeks. We named all of them, so we could quickly identify them. I find it interesting the personalities they have (if I can call it that). Some are quite chill, and don't mind being put in our hands, while a couple of them run as soon as we spot them.

Oh yeah! I've bought several at a time a couple years in a row now. I put them in the bushes all around the house, and in the spring, I check them daily. Its really cool when they first hatch, because they are almost transparent. You just wave your hand a couple inches over the bush and see them move around.
I just looked, they are VERY expensive right now, but I recall paying around $10 for 2 oothecas, so I'd buy 3 or 4 pair at a time.

Sharing some of the Praying Mantis's we have in our yard. My son and I spotted a few that we had not seen before. We named them too, but I won't remember which ones are which :-) These are all different critters and I think we have now identified 8 that live around the house. It might be more because some of them do look alike. We try to find unique markings to ensure we aren't counting the same one(s) twice, but not all of them stay still once spotted. Rather than freak them out, if they want to run, we leave them alone.
