Mantis ID Please!

[Shadow94]

I found these mantids in my back yard this week and was wondering if anybody had an accurate ID for them? I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Sorry about the fuzzy pics. I had to use a cellphone. Might be able to borrow sister's camera sometime in the near future though. I found one of them on wysteria shrub and one on an oleander.

Looks to me like a Stagmomantis carolina female.

I looked it up on BugGuide. That's it. Thanks.

Based on your location, that has to be what it is.
