I am working in Cyprus and I found a massive praying mantis about 3 inch and has some good weight to it. It was sat next to a wasp nest snacking on them.

This looks like Blepharopsis mendica - http://www.arkive.org/striped-mantis/blepharopsis-mendica/
It goes by many common names, including marbled, striped, devils flower, and thistle mantis...
