Africa Wild

I'll give it a try, but I usually have to rely on Klippies for the best informed answer, as my "expertise" is merely interest in insects, not scientific. Cute lil one

Ex!

That's nice of you (s)ex(y)

Just a quick note - I had looked at this entry days ago, but could not see the photos (just a white square with a little blue square w/ a ? in it)...so ignored it. However, yesterday when I logged in, I could see it. Again just now, I cannot see them unless I log in. Perhaps others that could help cannot see the pics either if not logged in Thanks!

I am always logged in, but will try to log out and have a look

Also not logged in the pictures show

Probably just my computer/browser/ Anyway, I can see these that RP reposted whether logged in or not.

My best guess, tho' it seems rather obvious, but as usual I could be mistaken: One of the Afrotropical Bark Mantids

Superfamily Eremiaphiloidea
Family Eremiaphilidae
Subfamily Tarachodinae

Subfamily Tarachodinae
Tarachodinae often have a slightly flattened habitus, flattened cerci and shortened meso- and metathoracic legs. The head is comparatively large with respect to the often slender body and mostly held in a hypognathous position (mouth parts are pointed down) when at rest or hiding in terms of camouflage. When moving or hunting, however, the same specimen may hold its head in a forward pointing position.


Genus Tarachodes
The bark mantises and ground mantises (genus Tarachodes) are praying mantids now placed in the family Eremiaphilidae[1] that are native to the Afrotropics.

(There are many species of Tarachodes as listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarachodes)

Any other ideas out there?

Ex!

Need an ID on these two please? Taken during my recent trip to KNP (Satara region)

Thanx
