Praying Mantis

My front yard is a virtual zoo of tiny animals. This praying mantis has to be very young. It is only about 2 inches long and did not like me disturbing it.

I know, I know…
but why didn't you rotate the take?
Would be easier (for me!) to enjoy its splendour.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Must be nice to have so many critters right in your front yard. Back when I used to chase bugs around, I'd have to drive 45 minutes to get someplace where I could hope to find some.

Wow! Nice capture here. Although they are very slow creatures but they are quite femme fatale.
