Cool find, KishaB! This looks like a mantis from genus Tenodera. This is very likely a Chinese Mantis (Tenodera sinensis). Here is a link to the BugGuide page. http://bugguide.net/node/view/386/bgpage I would love to see this added to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
