Nice mantids C.Way. I have the ones in your first photo too! I just put it as Hierodula cf. tenuis because I'm not really sure which Hierodula sp. it is.

I've got 2 of them, both share the same small size, but one of them will grow it's wing in another shed

too bad none of my long neck mantis made it during the trip, I guess those clumsy fellas all fall to death...

Yeah the first one is nice Hierodula sp like Sufistic mentioned.

The one with wing on the last pic looks like some Tenodera sp. Can't really tell the other one from the pic but might be another Tenodera sp. too, it is a subadult though.

thanks for the ID again, the two in the last pic is the same thing but in different color, I caught two of them within the lenght of 30cm away
