Mantispidae
thank you very much for letting me know, i had no idea
Hi Ismael, this very cool insect is actually not a Mantis at all! It is called a Mantidfly, Family Mantispidae.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantispidae...I am not sure which species are found in your area so you still need a bit more research.Your second image looks like a spider nest perhaps. I don't think it is related to your Mantidfly.
