| It is a baby praying mantis. You can hold them in your hand. I have them all around my yard. They also are really good at eating the bad bugs in our plants. They are just too cute when they are little. |

| Yep, a baby praying mantis for sure! They're only about 3/4 inch long when they are born. |

| Yep! your all right. He was just too cute. There are two of them and we are hoping they will stay. |

| They will eat the bad bugs AND the good bugs and I think I have read that they even eat other praying mantis. |
