Baby Mantis

I have previously put up a fully grown
praying mantis.
This is a baby one walking along the
railing on our front balcony.

It may be small but it is an adult - it has wings. Probably male.

Thanks, Michael.
He is much less scary in real life as he is so small.

Very fine closeup in a really creepy-looking bug.

Dear Hal,
I can see your comment, thank you.
I didn't know the mantis is lethal.

My comment has disappeared Elaine.

This is a wonderful image of one of these
lethal insects with the highly specialised forelegs.
