Chinese Mantis - Tenodera sinensis

Chinese Mantis - Tenodera sinensis
Wildwood Park; Radford, Virginia, USA
July 9, 2018
Found this on Apocynum cannabinum. It had captured a butterfly(I think). As I snapped pictures of it and other critters on the flowers, it clutched its prey in an impressive arm-hold.
ID, please?
