Nice spotting (and your other Mantid). I am not sure which one this is but here is a good online reference that might help you ID it:

Hope it helps!

wow, these guys look like the same as we have here in the states, just yours are darker then ours, most of ours are green some can be morphed a lil to light brown, but i find it to be the males mainly. good luck

Nice one Jack. Can't wait to get up there and look at these creatures for myself. You're finding some good stuff. Sorry I can't help with this ID.
