The mantis in the second picture is not a G. Chiragra, but would need to see the meral spots to confirm the species. My first thought is G. Viridis, second option would be G. Falcatus. The former has red streaks around a white meral spot, the latter has a greenish-yellow meral spot.

G. Chiragra usually lacks that kind of complexity in coloration. Females are a uniform light green while males are darker. Smashers are purple - pink.
