Baby Praying Mantis on a Japanese Maple Leaf (Click Image for Fuller View)

A few weeks ago I let go three little egg sacs full of baby praying mantises in the front and side yards.  I hadn't seen any of the babies since that day until today when I saw a whole slew of them on our Japanese Maple Tree.  They are the tiniest little things but hopefully will grow into great big wonderful insects.  I'll keep posting as they grow.
