In the garden today, did not want to move away, everytime we tried to lift it, it would fly off and come back. Quite big over 3" long I would say.

Rather boringly, I suspect that it is a Green Leaf Insect.

Well I was going to call it Jimmy...Jimmy Cricket.... It's body is like a pea pod. I spoke to a friend who had one in her kitchen and it would not leave, eventually her cat killed it. She lives here and did not know what it was.

Look at the head and front legs Bernie. It's nothing like a mantis.
