Nice find! This is a nymph (juvenile). The shape of the body reminds me very much of a Carolina Mantis (Stagmomantis carolina). Here is a link so you can compare: http://bugguide.net/node/view/4821 I removed this spotting from the Fall into Phenology mission because it does not meet the requirements for that mission, however, this would be a perfect addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
