A new Mantid

This is a Brown Mantid or Stick Mantid nymph (she says very confidently).  I think it is that one because of the white line on it's back as opposed to a black line that the Purple winged Mantid nymph has.  They apparently grow quite large and I must admit that this is the first time I have seen one in my garden.   

I survived the first day back at work.  One day down, 4 more to go...
