Beautiful find, Edrele! This would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission:

Sphodromantis viridis is an African species that is often kept as pets but does not occur wild in the United States. They also look a bit different. I am pretty sure this is a European Mantis. Take a look at the link provided with the ID suggestion to compare yours to the images there.
