This is a nymph, most likely from genus Stagmomantis. There are a couple of species found in your area. Perhaps you can figure out which one it is from checking out the Bug Guide page: http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpag...
This could be added to the global Mantis mission, as well (if you like):
