Welcome back to Project Noah, J2! This little mantis is a nymph. I am not sure which species this is. There is a good chance that this is from genus Stagmomantis, but I am not totally sure. There are two species of Stagmomantis mantids in your area of which I am aware. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpage This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
