Thought I might just pop these on. As you can imagine, living in a country with an unbalanced claim on most of the world's dangerous, venomous and downright creepy little (or massive as the case may be) creatures, we get a few unwelcomed house guests. Many of these guests are removed by way of chemical death. Occasionally we get a little bug that is quite welcome and really quite cool - as can be seen of these shots of our Preying Mantis. I did not name him Jesus as that would be cliched and, most importantly, mis-spelt.
I spent a few minutes up close just watching him, and he watching me with his beeeeeeeeedy little eyes. He was probably sizing up whether i would go well in a mushroom sauce or something, but decided that I was probably a bit lean. He scuttled off and last I heard he was chasing the elephants round their enclosure at Taronga Zoo. Just for fun.
What a cool little chap.
2 mumbles or rants about it:
Presumably had a free ride inside the Christmas card...
Haha, very cute
