Great capture! This is a female from Genus Stagmomantis. There are two in your area. I can't quite make out the color of the lip (one has a blue lip) in your image, so I will leave the researching to you. Here is a link to the Bugguide page for this Genus: http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpage Hope this helps!
