For those of you who guessed praying mantis...
Right on!
By any name, these fascinating insects are formidable predators. They have triangular heads poised on a long "neck," or elongated thorax. Mantids can turn their heads 180 degrees to scan their surroundings with two large compound eyes and three other simple eyes located between them.
They use their front legs to snare their prey with reflexes so quick that they are difficult to see with the naked eye. Their legs are further equipped with spikes for snaring prey and pinning it in place.

Ok I didn't know what type of insect it was but now that you have told us what it was I can hit myself on the head and say of course how thick are you Jo-Anne
