A Very Happy Pet Update

A few weeks ago, I ordered three Chinese Praying Mantis egg cases off Amazon.com. Today one of them hatched. At least 200 hundred came out! I kept nine of them for pets and released the rest. Here are some photos of them. The video is what I saw when I entered the room first thing in the morning.









Here is what they will all end up looking like as adults. They grow to be about six inches.

    1. I feed them Large insects when they are full grown, but in the wild they eat anything they can overpower. People use them to take down the population of pest such as wasp and hornets ( We have a very bad wasp problem here. )
