Great find Ayla! Do you have any other views of this mantis? This looks like a mantis nymph from genus Tenodera. http://bugguide.net/node/view/386/bgpage...
Tenodera angustipennis has an orange spot between the front arms where Tenodera sinensis has a yellow one. (one of the ways to tell them apart).

This would be a good addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission:
