Tiny Praying Mantis

I saw this praying mantis on a crown flower recently. It’s undoubtedly the smallest I’ve ever seen. It might also be the fastest moving mantis I’ve seen. It was zipping around, mostly trying to shake me off, I think!

Fabulous captures. They’re so interesting to watch closely, with their odd bits and pieces.

  They are. I’ve never seen a mantis move as fast as that one did!

  Very speedy, but probably needs that to survive at this stage of its life.
