Welcome to Project Noah also. Maybe you will find more amazing creatures outside door 45. ;-)

Wonderful find sir. I'm sure this is the 'Wandering Violin Mantis' and the scientific name is 'Gongylus gongylodes'. Here is a link to support the suggestion https://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewmitchell_unseenuniverse/27547141415
