As I was taking shots of the Mantis Exoskeleton I found the newly emerged Mantis.
Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal, and transformation in our lives.

He looks like he looking right at you, saying "How do I look?". Excellent shot, Kerri. Mickie :)
they are so good at keeping an eye on you too! they're the only insect that can turn it's head to look at you...
He's cute and he's also looking at you!!

That's a splendid shot and i love the light coming from the right side. Well done Kerri!
Nature never ceases to amaze! Wonderful shot.
I was impressed by those big eyes.Great capture.
Mantis are so interesting to look at, so different, and never will be mistaken for anything other than a Mantis.
Thank you for sharing, giving me a walk about, through the woodlands, and nature.
Have a wonderful day!
I have still yet to see one in the wild. They really are the most unusual looking of insects aren't they? This is a really fabulous shot - I love the fresh new colors post-molt.
Love them ... such a cool insect and he is not pleased your intrusion! :-)
Awesome shot with great quote

Hi Kerri..Don't know how,but almost didn't see this post, and I am so glad I noticed!!
How exciting to find the Mantis itself!!
Great photos and the quotes you use are always so fitting!!
I have seen them here,but not often!!
What an awesome find, and photo! The praying mantis looks so friendly, but I've seen a video of one killing a bird. I didn't know they were vicious until then. Don't let Mr. Friendly fool ya, he's a meanie!
Such a curious looking little fella.
What a beautiful little fellow! (And a great photo!) :-)
Amazing photo! Your insect shots are just fantastic!
