Cute! This little mantis nymph (not fully grown) looks like one from genus Stagmomantis. There are a couple of species from this genus found in your area. It may not be possible to ID this little one further than the genus (you can just put Stagmomantis sp. in the scientific name area if you can't figure it out. Here is a link to the Bug Guide page for the genus: http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpage Additionally, this would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
