Default Monsters in the garden

This bad girl was hanging just above my Black from Tula, keeping an eye out for any insects buzzing around. She swiveled her head around to keep an eye on me as I walked around her. Glad she is only five inches long!

I've seen some walking sticks that were 5-6 inches long, but I have no idea what that creature is.

Sorry, I should have noted that it is a female praying mantis.
