Great find Ayla! Do you have any other views of this mantis? This looks like a mantis nymph from genus Tenodera. http://bugguide.net/node/view/386/bgpage Tenodera angustipennis has an orange spot between the front arms where Tenodera sinensis has a yellow one. (one of the ways to tell them apart). http://bugguide.net/node/view/861831 http://bugguide.net/node/view/827582/bgimage This would be a good addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
