Thought this might be a baby praying mantis. Any idea as to what it might be? Not sure if it's eating my plants or eating the bad bugs...I left it alone :)

Praying Mantis - Our new found friend
Have a look at what I found today while spraying the organic seaweed, fish emulsion and vinegar fertilizer solution.
This friendly mantis was small, about 1" or so. Crawling along the wall next to our Thompson seedless grape vine.
