Stagmomantis limbata
This beautiful Mantis is pale pink which blends in perfectly with the spent flowers of the Bougainvillea she was on. Her eyes are cloudy which I haven't seen before. Her wings are yellow although I don't have a photo showing what I saw when she bent over.

Thank you Tiz!
Jemma, not sure if it's a color morph but it's our common S limbata with yellow wings and a blue nose.
Beautiful series, and she relly has a good taste in flowers :)
