Photo Hunters: Tiny

For me, in order to label something as tiny, either you have to have some form of comparison or it is just a matter of perspective. An ant is tiny to a human being. A human being is tiny compared to a dinosaur. From another point of view, even large objects like stars, may appear tiny to the human eye because we view them over such a great distance.

For my first Photo Hunter entry, I'm recycling this photo from an earlier blog entry:

The praying mantis ranks as one of the larger insect predators and it feeds on other insects. However, one morning I spotted this baby praying mantis perched on one of my house gate bars. It looked so vulnerable and defenseless since it had not yet grown much bigger than an ant. It makes me wonder what other smaller insects this tiny fellow had for breakfast. LOL!
