Lavender's Mischief


 9-3-2024


Lavender exploring a balancing astronaut 








Introducing Lavender, one of my two flower mantises, my most recent pet. Today he ate a mosquito which was the same size as itself. He is very good in tracking down pests and eating them. Mantises are also very good temporary pets and they can play with you if

you train them. I’ve had bud-wing mantises in the past and it would fly from the floor to my hand if I wiggle my fingers. They are very cute and funny as shown in the top left picture. I played a video of bugs moving on the screen for both the mantises to practice hunting. The cute mantis ran and chased the bugs oftenly striking them with its arms.

                                                                                       You
