They might all be Hierodula (many species of Hierodula). Sorry, I am not sure if they are Hierodula.

@Mr. Goldfish: Thanks for your expertise on Mantodea. Would you mind, please, add some reference links illustrating your comments and/or suggestions? This would help for checking, thanks!

Not Mantis religiosa. Maybe a Oxyopsis or something else.
