Paraoxypilus - Boxer Bark Mantis
Small, dark brown with a jaggedy textured back. Bright red patches on inside of arms that are visible when arms are extended.
Wikipedia says barks and leaves but found this one on a rock which if look at last photo you can see how well camouflaged it is. Bark and leaves is more than likely true. I think this one might've been looking for a supply of water from the hose it was nearby.
Almost looks like an ant. (had me fooled at first)
