I'm assuming that the individual in pic 5 is the same species. Also, assuming that the colour on the markings on the head and front legs indicate which sex? Green or Red?

Green in this case is the female but colours can be a bit variable. Females also have a more acutely pointed abdomen with a scythe-like ovipositor at the terminus for egg laying.
