Can anyone ID this species? It was outside my window one early morning this week. Located in central Maryland.

This is a nice picture of an adult male Tenodera Aridifolia, commonly known as the Chinese Mantis. You can tell he's a male because of the long antenna and slimmer wings and abdomen (rear body, behind the legs). This is the largest Mantis species in North America, and is commonly sold as egg cases at greenhouses to help with garden pests.
