Found this little guy right by my house pretty sure it's a female Carolina

I think it is an L4. I also think its a female. But you would have to count the abdomen to be sure.
 I would second this due to the green color of the mantis. All the male Carolinas I have ever seen are brown with green legs. When the mantis has uniform green or uniform brown between legs and body, you have a female on your hands!
