Dear Kiiboo:
Welcome to Project Noah! You have several nice spottings here. Each photograph belongs to a different species. Please, place each of them as separate spottings. This way people can help you separately ID each of the species spotted. Thanks for joining and sharing your spottings with us!

It is a flower mantis. Unusual to see them away from a flower. Lovely shot.
