While out in the back yard looking for Monarch caterpillars I came across this baby preying mantis waiting in the tall dried grasses for perhaps a dragon fly to come its way.

I think that this is South African Mantis, though hard to tell from native New Zealand one's but it does look to be a female full of eggs!

La mantis religiosa debe su nombre a sus prominentes patas delanteras, que están dobladas y juntas en un ángulo que recuerda a la posición de oración. Mantis hace referencia al género mantis, al que solo pertenecen ciertas especies de mantis religiosa.
A pesar de su nombre, estos fascinantes insectos son unos fantásticos depredadores. Su cabeza triangular se alza en lo alto de un estirado cuello, que de hecho es un tórax alargado. Los mántidos pueden girar la cabeza 180 grados para escudriar los alrededores con sus dos grandes ojos compuestos y tres simples situados entre ellos.
