WW: Mantid {Linky}

On Mother's Day we went over to my parent's house to give my Mom flowers. The boys stood at a bush for awhile checking out the baby Praying Mantis. There were a few on this bush. They were hard to see because they were so little.

Last year I took the below video clip of the Praying Mantis in action. The boys were  fascinated!

Do you think the Praying Mantis is creepy or cool?

Praying Mantis

Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs had this huge Praying Mantis outside their house. Grandpa said that he saw it devour a bee.

 

They are both creepy and cool.

I used to think that the Praying Mantis was good because it eats things that are pests to us. That is until I was reading about them today. They are related to the Cock Roach. That kind of makes them more creepy then cool in my book. When I lived in Savannah, Georgia my roommate had me kill all the bugs we saw. I'm the only one that would. There were all kinds of roaches that lived there! YUCK! Cockroaches been around longer then dinosaurs. They basically can live off of anything. Again, YUCK!

One of my fellow graduate students was hired to make a website for Chocolate Covered Cock Roaches. Three times, YUCK! He made the site, got paid and never heard from the lady again. The site disappeared. CRAZY!

Praying Mantis

• I went for my typical walk today, and spotted a Praying Mantis. I ran inside to grab a camera. I just think they are pretty creepy and cool at the same time.
• Daddy did a sculpture of a Praying Mantis called Mantid. Check out his work here.
