I have a small grass(?) mantis, that I caught here in Marikina, Philippines. It's around L3, and a bit less than an inch in length. It is very thin, and it poses just like brown grass/stick mantises(the ones from Australia). It's green, and has a yellowish stripe on it's back when fully colored. I took a photo of it drinking water from a leaf. If you need more info to identify it, please tell me.

Today it died of a what I think is a mismolt. I don't know what happened, I came home to it upside down on the dirt. It also may have been starvation, because I assumed it was molting, but maybe I stopped feeding too early :p
