Here is a link for Mantis religiosa. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_mantis Adult females of Mantis religiosa have wings that extend to the end of the abdomen. Green colored Mantis religiosa have reddish or purple femora (upper part of the leg) on their hind two pair of legs. I hope this helps.
Lovely lady mantis! This looks like a different species though.This may be a Mediterranean Mantis, Iris oratoria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_oratoria I know you already have this spotting assigned to five missions, but this would be a perfect addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
