Thank you ForestDragon, for your help and suggestion. Unfortunately, I don't have any other view. The little guy was resting on a Blue Pickerel Weed leaf in our backyard pond. I couldn't get any closer without fear of falling in ^__^. I will keep looking for him though.

Nice capture, Gladys! I think there is a good chance that this is a Chinese Mantid nymph. Do you have any other views?

This would be a great addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission:
