Mohammad, all you need to do is click on the "Edit this spotting" link at the top of the submission, upload the second image to this submission, then delete the other one.
This is a nymph! This species has many different common names. It is a beautiful Mantis. These are kept as pets by some people. This link has some nice photos of the species:

i dont know how to combine them..but yes this is a beautyfull mantis fairly common but hard to spot..
If this is the same organism as your first spotting, you should combine them into one spotting; I'd put this picture as the #1 image, it's lovely.
