Description R.I.P

A praying mantis I had.
She was so comfortable around me that she would clean herself on me and even lick me gently..this is quite rare..I miss her. Her name was Steeze.

Huh thats pretty cool. What did you feed her? Did you just find her outside or?....

I rescue them from my cats all the time and take them over to my neighbors. She bought praying mantis eggs a few years ago. So I figure most of them are from there anyways and its safer from my cats.

A cute display of insect sweetness.

Insects are mostly enjoyable creatures. I haven't a clue why they ALL have such a bad rep. Poor critters.

Ants, flies, and mosquitoes are ick. Bees are so adorable when I'm wear a floral dress or something, and they land on me and get all confused.
