Preying Mantis
Initially on my chair on the deck. then in a small shrub beside the deck.
I shifted her to a small shrub which had a male on it, they appeared to get on ok.
Apparently it is the New Zealand species as it has purple dot on the front legs, this is indicitive of our Native Mantis.
Nice spotting mike. It looks like this might be the imported African one which is gobbling up all your locals.
