Awww so cute! I love baby pictures! :) I'm guessing that's the offspring from one of your breeding pairs of stomatopods?

Captured in the field, it is a last instar L. maculata. It molted a couple of hours later into a postlarva.

Whoa that's a big baby, no? I was imagining something very very tiny...but then if it was too tiny you probably wouldn't have bee able to catch it...

This is after several months in the plankton and 7 molts.
