I think, the first is mantis religiosa: http://agrozoo.ne...-religiosa The second, fatter, probably smaller ? probably nimph of it. Edited by BubikolRamios on 05-05-2013 10:08 highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |

Shortened wings in female Mantodea are species-specific trait and I think that the both individuals are adults. It seems that these are some of the southern species with reduced wings. I am not a specialist, but the second specimen looks like a Pseudoyersinia subaptera. Denis |
