Hello ladies,
Today I met a new garden friend. May I introduce you to a baby praying mantis?
I love his pose in the photo above. What a good model!
Look at size of the baby praying mantis when compared to a honey bee. Both mantis and bee are positioned similarly on the same flower.

Like babies of just about any species, this praying mantis was so playful. He jumped from the flower to my hand. He sat for awhile on my camera, then landed on my dress. He spring boarded off the flowers on my dress back to the orange dahlia. We had much fun together! I hope to see him again soon.
For those of you wondering, I am wearing Almost Famous by Color Club. I will put the post up with my manicure late this evening or in the early morning hours.
Happy painting ladies! I hope you enjoyed your bit of whimsy for the day!
