Looks like Blue Flash in the face (obviously female) but no markings inside the raptors. Kind of looks like viridis but they have more pronounced yellow knobs on the forearms.

Blue Flash sub female face

Hey! Maybe they are Blue Flash. I think only the males have the raptor markings.

I think the green ones have the blue markings and the brown ones do not have it. Here is a female with blue markings.

A-ha! Good to know. Thanks!

Nice pics precarious!!! Cool how viridis turn all green at L2 :)
Yeah, that was the last generation. I've got fresh nymphs that are only L1. Hoping they turn that same jade green.

By the way, I have nymphs and ooths available if anyone is interested. I'll probably get an ad posted next week.

 
Ok until we find a name for that species,We shall call it Sphodromantis sp "Benin".
