Eyed-flower mantid

I found this delightful mantid, (Pseudocreobotra wahlbergi), while collecting seeds from a Leonotis leonorus.  According to the Field Guide to Insects of Southern Africa, this is much further south than their natural distribution area.

I found one on the stoop at our offices in Hazyview. Can I send a photo to your cell phone?
