I suppose I never really thought about mantids as a prey species before. I took this photograph in Thailand at Pang Sida National Park, Elevation around 400 meters.
Thanks a million to all (esp. Tier!) . I often find mantids on my visits to the forests in Thailand that I have no idea of the species. I will be sure to post some more soon

Here are some more pics. After looking up the Ghost Mantis I agree - it def seems to be of PHYLLOCRANIA Sp. if not Phyllocrania Paradoxa
This size fits also as it was about 4 to 5 cm high
