Wonderful photo! I feel pretty confident that this is a Chinese Mantid. They are quite prevalent on Long Island (I live here too). Here is one that looks like yours: http://bugguide.net/node/view/581732 Please consider adding this wonderful spotting to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247 Thanks!
