    I think it has to do with keeping your sheets tucked in tightly so the bugs have a harder time crawling up and nibbling toes.

    Hmm... Sometimes I have to wonder, maybe we're the ones from another planet?

    Showed my co-workers the pic of the white mantis on the orchid... I had to point it out.

    Default more, LOTS more mantid pics as Steve requested
















    This next one is shows the male & the female ... notice a bit of a size difference?










    This one is called the "wandering violin" mantis
