Hierodula patellifera
This guy came out of nowhere one evening and landed on the wall of my hut. He was huge! I added the second photo for ID purposes (the thorax is the correct shape for H. patellifera)

That is an impressive looking Mantis! I love the first photo.
Thanks both! Oui, Luc, cet insecte est de l'Asie, les insectes y sont tres grandes!
Tu es vraiment tres bonne :) On voit tout les petits details . Ici on ne voit pas ce genre d ' insect , je crois que j ' aurais meme peur d 'etre autant pres
:)) You are really very good :) You can see all the little details. Here we do not see what kind of insect, I think I would have the same fear of being nearly as much:))
Great photo of it cleaning its face.
