Description
Went to the local Arboretum today (Fullerton CA) hunting for some insects. Was so excited when I spotted this PM nymph on a plant. It was pretty evasive at first, but finally got it to mellow out for a few nice shots.
It was small, about 10-12mm. I will likely post another shot tomorrow of it on my thumbnail so you can get a good idea of how small it is.
Anyway, happy to have finally captured one with my lens. Even if it was a baby. Cute little fella.
Minimal PP.
Thanks for looking...

Amazing macro photography my friend.
Love, love, love it!
Wow! Beautiful shot.
Cute little bugger! Love mantises! Great shot!
Excellent macro! These guys are cool to watch and I'm surprised it didn't jump on your lens. ;)
Stunning image.
cool !! fantastic capture !
What a cutie, and lovely to see you back with your stunning insect macros.
Wow quite a cool looking chap superbly captured !!
I am very familiar with the baby mantis. This is a fabulous shot. They are not easy for me to get a focus lock on because of their very tiny size. I have found 2 egg cases in the back yard that hatched and I know from experience there are at least 6 more I will never find. I can't wait to find the first one in the garden.
superb shot
Excellent capture.
