Found this yesterday morning in my garden. After the rains, during the rains I should say, I've been noticing many insects in the garden. Can someone identify this for me?

This could be Creobroter gemmatus, a species known as a flower mantis - see http://tinyurl.com/kjd76w for an image.

Thanks Suunto. I will go for it and add it to the database right away. I did not know until now that they are kept in captivity and bred! They were also on sale as I saw in some sites! Some new info. I learnt today. These mantises seem to look up to our faces - do they really do so?
