I wasn't sure which one to put so I defaulted for the European one. Thank you for the correction!

Nice find! I agree completely with Aaron. This looks like a Chinese Mantid, Tenodera sinensis. Here is a link so you can compare:

I think this would be a nice addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the North East mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...

I'm inclined to say this is a Chinese mantis and not the European mantis.
