Likely a Stagmomantis californica adult male because adult males of S. limbata usually have a light green stripe along the sides of the forewings (also a white stripe) which the S. californica lack, though it may not be too reliable characteristic for identification.

Looks like a Stagmomantis species. There are a couple found in your area and I don't know all the details for telling them apart. They do have some habitat differences. Check out this link for more info. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4820/bgpag...
