For the Steemit Photo Challenge #4, I present a freshly hatched preying mantis contemplating a flower.

    EXCELLENT WORK. I've been looking for a Praying Mantis for one of my entries, but I'm not sure that I could top this even if I did find one.

    Thanks, you can find the eggs on Amazon if you want a whole herd of them to practice on. They work great as poison free pest control too!

    Good idea. We have some roaming around here anyway, but to have my own army of little pest control warriors to unleash into my garden... Why, I could be the Mantis King!!! Good idea, thanks.

      Found one! But I entered three other photos already, plus it is nowhere near as good as yours.
