I don't know whether this is friend or foe. Could someone identify it for me please?

Good guy. That is a type of praying mantis.

Where was the Praying Mantis seen? I understand they are either not found in the U.K., or have only recently begun to be found in southern England.
Actually, the stigma on the forewing makes me think this might be a species of Stagmomantis, a genus native to the New World.
