Eremiaphilidae sp.
Very camouflaged! Only spotted because I was looking down at the ground as he moved out of my path. About 3.5 cm in length. "Eremiaphilidae is a small family of the order Mantodea (mantises). They are frequently wingless or brachypterous, and commonly encountered in desert environments. Their coloration often matches that of the sand or rocks in the habitat." ~wiki
spotted in a coastal desert wadi
