Tenodera sinensis
Large brown male praying mantis with bright green stripes down the sides of its forewings. Green eyes.
Found on an ornamental bunchgrass at the Penn State Arboretum.
I also found a larger(!) gravid female with the same markings hunting on butterfly bush. Did not get a photo of her.
