Nice find maxrothschild12345! This looks like a nymph of a mantis from genus Tenodera. There is a good chance that this is Tenodera sinensis, Chinese Mantis, but I can't confirm at this angle. http://bugguide.net/node/view/386 Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
