As I was walking up the stairs, I glanced down at the big pot of marigolds.  And look who I saw.  

 

OK, here's a little perspective for you:  That leaf is a marigold leaf, and see the flower bud?  Marigolds are kinda small, so you can see that this praying mantis is just a baby.  3 inches:  max.

 

Who needs the Nature Channel?  We have it going on right here.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
