Old photo. Was an epiphyte on Phoenix palm. I observed this before it got chopped hence the ID. Didn't manage to get good photos of it when it was alive...

A first for me. This is a South African Mantis eating an Australian Plague Skink in a New Zealand garden. She took 1hr 10mins to eat the whole torso from just below the front legs to just above the back legs. An hour later she had wandered off with no sign of the skink. I think she's eating for 120 babies by the size of her belly.

Sorry for the rather grisly photos.
Washed up on small beach just above high tide mark. Long dead!
Photo 7 seems to confirm ID rather conclusively (unless beak has been deformed by time and conditions).
Wrybills are known to congregate at Ambury Park across the harbour.
