Without pictuers of the actual Stomatopod no ID will be accurate. Many have similar coloration, so without seeing the one you are interested in we can't give you a reliable ID. You will want to get a picture of the head/face preferably showing the mearl spots. If that doens't work we at least need to know what color they are. Also ou will want a good shot of the tail of the mantis as several species are deferentiated by the tail morphology.

lol that looks nothing like the first picture

Yep P. cilliata.
Good thing we didn't ID that first pictuer as its a smasher and this one is a spearer.

And let me be the first to say that if you wanted a smasher and got a spearer, I would be more than happy to work out a trade for your P. cilliata.
More than happy.
