Actually, so far I found five (kind/color/species?) of Praying Mantis.beetleman wrote:So, this is about the fourth species of Praying Mantis that lives around your hunting ground, right Nikola. This is totally not fair. I have not seen one in a few years to tell you the truth. Yours are much more well dressed than our green & brown ones
Elongated dry-grass yellow (1), brown (2), khaki (3), green (4) and gray (5). But I'm doubting if 2 to 5 are of the same species but different ground color adaptation. 
Let me tell you just one curious fact. On one croatian isle alone (one of more then thousand croatian isles!) there are more different plants then on the entire territory of England! During the last glacial period (ice age), which ended about 10 000 years ago, here was resort (shelter) for many fauna and flora species because most of Europe was covered by ice. So it has sense to say that origins of many today europian plants are from here.
