Judging by the shape of the head and abdomen and the coloration that can be seen in the last image, I would say that this is most likely a Carolina Mantis nymph (female), Stagmomantis carolina.

See what you think!
@ Maria dB...there is a photo of the whole insect in the series except I was using a close up filter and had a really shallow DOF...sorry
Moved to "ARTHROPODS"
nice shots - do you have a photo of the whole insect that you could add?
Thank you Gerardo
