Forget to say: Well done, Alf. Photo not blurred + relevant ID features captured + location and date given = a good candidate for a correct identification

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
Here are some mantids from 2015 and 2016 KTP. The two 2015 entries are not the same individual, but perhaps the same genus/sp. (?) As far as M. religiosa, it seems there is a distinctive feature on the legs, but my pics don’t show that part, unfortunately.
