My daughter found this little guy in one of our bushes around the house. Taken with the 300D/Sigma 105/ tripod. He was about 1/2 inch long.

Thanks all. When my daughter showed him to me, I was very surprised that she even saw him in the first place.

I haven't seen any praying mantis this year:confused: , they could be perfect models, as the pose beautifully and don't move so much. Great shot, btw!

You would be surprised, i was, i set up for the shot, he saw me and ran up the tree. I found a smaller one a week ago, he wanted to fight, not pose. I'll find one soon though, hopefully a friendly one.
