Manny

Manny was the name of the mantis in the animated movie, "A Bug's Life". It was a rainy gloomy day again today so we played board games and a card games at the house. I spotted this young mantis out near the pool.
Cool shot. Can I ask how you can tell it is a young one, telltale signs?

@gardencat - Its size. It was only 3 inches long.

@skipt07 Ah, thank you. I credit 365 with many of the facts I've learned about birds, bugs, and nature in general, either the poster answers my question or else engages my interest enough that I go looking for the answer on my own.

@gardencat - I came across one even smaller than this one later. I was surprised that I saw it as it was only a half inch long if that.

Wish I'd had pictures like this when I was teaching science - you really see him well.
