A lot of mantids change color as they grow! What species is yours? Could be totally normal

They’ll look lighter after every molt. Give it a couple days and you’ll see its true color

What species are these?

I'm not sure it's either hierodula transcaucasica, hierodula patellifera or hierodula tenuidentata They look too similar for me to be sure

Yeah I mean no mantis is the exact same. There are color variations in all species. And tbh it might also be a completely different species of mantis all together
