If you see any of these guys in your garden, do not shoo them away or kill them. These are called Praying Mantis and they will kill all of those pesky grasshoppers that eat up your veggies and leaves.
I love these guys/gals! They are friendly, well maybe curious, if you hold out your hand they will often walk quite confidently on to it. I had a 'pet' one that lived inside my house for about 4 weeks.
