This looks like a female Tenodera.

That's what I get for rushing xD Thank you! I'll edit it shortly.
Hi Amber, nice find! This is a mantis of some type, however, Sphodromantis viridis is not found in North America. This is most likely either a Chinese Mantid, Tenodera sinensis, or a European Mantis, Mantis religiosa. If you have any other views it might help with an ID.
