I’d say a foe, I think that’s a grasshopper and they like hibiscus leaves. Hope that helps.

Any idea how to keep away pests

You can apply a garlic spray, they hate the smell and taste. Pyrethrum is a natural insecticide that can help. Good luck.

Maybe you should get ur vision checked 🤔

Definitely not there is no extension of the upper part (where the thorax, wings, and head would be) and the abdomen, I would assume the cailfera species. Or not, I could be yapping, but it’s definitely not a praying mantis.

I don’t even have mantids where I’m from
