Miniature Mantis...

Love these fellas. Guess this young one will send up tiny little prayers!

So cute! He really stands out against the dark background!

How neat that you captured this. I saw one the other evening on the railing but till I retrieved my camera I couldn't find him

He is cute, so small and yet your eye goes right to him.

@wannabe @digitalrn @sansjuan Thank you all! They are fast as lightning; he was on the very top of my bench while I was sitting there. I ran in to get the camera and only snapped 3 shots quickly before he went under the bench and he was gone!

Great eye to see this! I've never seen one so tiny.

@olivetreeann Thank you! I've seen him 2 more times since this pic! Guess he is going to grow up in my flowerbed!
