The ant is about 2 mm long.

A long time ago I had lots of gear - now I make do with one camera & one lens.;)

Great shot, although I wouldn't call a mantis 'nice'. Striking maybe? :D

Pic looks a little oversharpened to me, there are halos around the Ant or what ever the food item is and again on the legs of the mantis.
Sure is a pretty specimen though. Composition looks good.
