Praying Mantis.

Thanks ForestDragon and XuRuiHuaJeff,changed the name.

Not sure, it does look quite similar, but it is certainly beautiful! Mantis religiosa (European Mantis) looks different from this as well.

Not a Sphodromantis, they are found in Africa. Definitely Hierodula sp, but exact species is hard to determine. The entire genus is a mess with many synonyms.
