baby Mantis on a Jackfruit tree
This praying mantis must have just hatched. I leave my container trees outside during the warm months and always end up with a few mantis egg sacks, the babies emerge in the greenhouse in mid winter (its hot in greenhouse)

So cute! I found a baby mantis in my backyard yesterday, too. I had to run to show my husband!
They are adorable. I have no idea what they eat at that size, hopefully they can eat the spider mites that are attacking my plants!
