Baby Mantis=New Back Door Neighbor

I've got a new back door neighbor. And I mean my back door, and what's been constantly lurking around it the last few days:



Somehow I've managed to go my entire life and never lay eyes on a baby praying mantis...they've always been full-grown. They are such amazing-looking creatures. I'm going to get kind of used to her being right outside whenever I come and go.

But you know how the kids do tend to grow up and move on...
