Cute little baby

...baby Praying Mantis that is :)
My son found this little guy walking around on top the garbage can outside the house. I would guess it was no longer than 1". What I found amusing was that this mantis didn't even seem phased that we were looking at it so closely. It would turn it's head around and look at us and then turn back and walk across the lid a bit more. It finally jumped down on the ground and scampered into the grass under the bushes.

Thanks! :) I'll send your sentiments to the bug too, for cooperating. ;)

Thanks...same here. I have a healthy fear of certain insects, but I'm learning to get right in their face, so to speak. :D
