Baby Praying Mantis

[jhill1440]

Thought I would share what I found on the car today.
A baby praying Mantis. I wish I could have got something to show how really small this little critter is. It would really fit on my pinky fingernail. It was so tiny and cute. My wife had a had time taking pics of it because it was fearless and would set up to attack the camera where ever she moved.

Just thought I would share. I did take a stick and relocate it to the garden so it could hunt for food and do some good. Maybe I might see it again when it gets bigger.

Wow he is small. I seen one yesterday on the kitchen window. We don't see to many of them a round here. Last one was about 2 years ago on my back porch we moved him/her outside to the bushes.

he is cute!! I have never seen a baby one before. I guess I haven't looked hard enough.

Thanks for the pics. I have thought of buying them and releasing them. Maybe I still will after seeing that little guy.
