Wow! Thank you!  Off to do some homework (now I do know where to start).  :)

I find these things frequently in the garden, usually on prunings just as they disappear into,the shredder, but I've never seen an actual praying mantis so I had started to doubt if that's what they really were. If Fermi says so though I'm convinced!
