I remember reading about Mantis' life cycle, and one part that made me feel amused was when they hatch; they look just like their adult form! I just thought that was rather adorable.

The photo I saw back then made them look pretty gross because they were not really zoomed in very much, but now I see that they are more adorable than I expected. HAHA

I don't know that much about photos but I think this shot had a very nice focus on the bottom of the nymphs clutter, where it feels it has more weight and more brightness. Thank you for sharing!

alot of species look nothing like adults when they hatch...check out (orchid mantis 1st instar) and then look at (orchid mantis adult female)..your be shocked at the difference.
