Great portrait! The lovely stripes between the eyes are distinctive for Tenodera species of mantids. Our native Stagmomantis species do not have these. Compare here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/4821 Also, this would be a great addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
