I was watering a sunflower plant I have growing on the deck last evening when I saw a small bug walking one of the leaves. On closer inspection, I realized it was a praying mantis - that is to say, a baby praying mantis, probably not even 1/4 inch long.
I never invested in a macro lens, but it was tempting to tell the creature to stand tight while I ran out and bought one. A wiser head prevailed and I did the best I could with a telephoto and then a wide angle lens. The shot here isn't nature book quality, but it is a neat documentation of something I had never seen before.
