I call it mantis but I've heard some people refer to it as mamboretá and tatadios.I've never actually seen one though.
Apparently "peygamber devesi" which translates to "prophet giant". New to me as well.

Old people call it "Campamocha", which comes from an old Aztec word play kids used to do when finding one. When kids used to find a Praying Mantis they'd tell it "Campa Mochan?" Which means "Where is your home?", and the Mantis would supposedly then have to fly off to find its home.Most just call it Mantis, today
