Common names: Eyed bush brown; Swamp (or Marsh) patroller
Satyrinae
There are wet and dry season forms.
There are "constant" revisions of Lepidoptera, so I would need to do more delving to see if it is now listed as genus Heteropsis (previously Henotesia, but later that was revised to being a subgenus of Heteropsis), or Brakefieldia. Don't know the current research....maybe Klippie can find the answer faster than me. (What a genius that one . )
But that's it for starters...

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
You get 3 look-alikes in the area:
Squinting Bush Brown (Bicyclus anynana)
Common Bush Brown (Bicyclus safitza)
Marsh Patroller (Brakefieldia perspicua)
You have two different ones

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
It seems to be, indeed.
Based on this observation it should be a member of the Lasoicampinae.
Still can't find anything closer to species-level yet.

Re: Insect or Invertebrates Identification
I hope someone can help with this mantis. Observed in the northern Kruger near Lanner Gorge at the lodge 'The Outpost'. Date of sightings 6 and 7 February 2023.
Many thanks, Catherine Constable
