Teeny weeny mantis

I went looking for the jumper in the agapanthus.  I think it either hiding too well for me to find it or it has gone on holiday.  What I did find however although almost missed it was this mantis nymph.  It is soooo tiny it would only be about 1 cm or so.  Well I chased it all over the agapanthus until I got a shot I was reasonably happy with.  It is nearly dark so there was a degree of difficulty with my eyesight and getting a shot that was sharp enough not to mention keeping stilll (even holding my breath!)  It even looks a little cross with me here don't you think.  Anyhoo, here you are Debbi, a baby mantis for Tiny Tuesday.
