Praying Mantis

[sparhawk]

This morning I discovered a cluster of Praying Mantis nymphs on top of a tractor where I work. Those little things were tiny (about 1/4-3/8 of an inch) and I took a few macro photographs of them.

Just to give the whole story some context, here is a link about Praying Mantis and Chinese legends: Praying Mantis Kungfu (http://mitglied.lycos.de/gottesanbeterin/e_intro.htm)
