Baby Praying Mantis
I just saw the coolest thing in my own living room. I'm sitting here at my
laptop and suddenly I feel something crawling on my arm. I normally just flick
whatever bug I see off or sqash it with a tissue, but this time I notices it
was a baby praying mantis. It was about 1/4in long but otherwise looked like a
miniature version of the 6" adult I saw this past summer.
I should have tried taking a picture but I doubt my camera will make a clear
picture of something that small. So I just took it outside and left it go. I
know it may be a bit cold for them but it's better than squashing it and I
doubt my wife would be happy letting any bug grow up in the house like a pet.
:P
