Amorphosceilididae probably.
Your beautiful mantids would be great additions to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
ForestDragon, Thank you for the I D suggestion... It sure looks the part..
This does indeed look like a Mantid. Perhaps a species of Bark Mantid. I don't know what species are in your area though.
