You would think with having little girls we wouldn't end up with pets like this.

This is definitely a girl; she had a mate (that the girls also caught and put in the cage). She hugged him according to my children (mated) then she ate him and laid an egg. Yep, definitely a girl. This is not the same praying-mantis as the other day; that was another one they wanted to keep. I wouldn't let them have that many. Plus this one is bigger and would just end up eating another one.

Utah has the best preying mantis's, manti... What is the plural for that? Cool pics
ReplyDeleteLol, I think our daughters have something in common here. Until recently my 15 year old had a 7 legged huntsman spider in her bedroom for a pet. Loose!
