It is most certainly a Chinese Mantid and a beauty as well

Here is the mother to the smaller mantid in my first 2 fotos. I had this one last year. It was a real beauty.

Nice mantid. You know, I thought the Chinese mantid was the largest mantid around here. BUT, I found some new mantids that are not even full grown and they are already bigger than my chinese mantid. Pretty impressive insect.

Don`t ask me the name, I have no clue what they are.
