Tenodera?
The proportions of this female nymph look more like those of Stagmomantis than Tenodera. The length of the abdomen is considerably less than the length of the thorax in Stagmomantis. The abdomen is relatively longer in Tenodera. Tendoera also does not cock the abdomen up as this individual is doing.

Date?
Apparently entering the date in the wrong format causes it to revert to the earliest possible date.
