Hi cdb3434. Mantids can't change color like chameleons but some species do have different color phases (so they have some that are green and some that are brown or similar). This looks like a Chinese Mantid nymph to me. Here is a link to more information: Tenodera sinensis sinensis, Chinese Mantid. http://bugguide.net/node/view/10098
