This looks consistent with a Chinese Mantis. Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...

Could also be Chinese Mantid (Tenodera sinensis). Hard to tell without seeing it's "armpits".

The European has a very distinctive spot on "armpits"
