Praying Babies!
This photo is hot! Share it!
Mom found these under the porch and told me to get my camera. Sure, it made me late for work, but it was worth the look!
This was the first time I ever saw praying mantis babies. They were newly hatched and getting ready to take off on their own. By the time I got home that day, they were all gone.
Nice reminder to stop and take a moment to enjoy nature's show!

awesome shot of those tiny little guys. I saw one last summer, a great big thing hanging on a fence, and of course, no camera. I keep my camera with me at all times now.
