thanks for sharing your insects ron, i love them all, and yes, praying mantis' creeps me
out. the other day while i was moving around some pots i noticed that there was
something dangling in front of me and when i looked at it, it was a praying mantis and i
screamed like a... ahem... i stepped away. the wife was making fun of me. heck i
almost fed it to my nepenthes, its just that i can't muster enough courage to catch it.
The other day i found a big fat leech on one of my pots so i took it off and fed it to my
nepenthes.
my garden is not really insect friendly, since i've got carnivorous plants around. and we
have frogs especially now that its been raining, sometimes i see some caterpillars too
so i let them be but then the birds eats them.
I've always wanted to have a leaf insect for a pet, i saw one at the zoo in subic, and i
loved it but the wife wont let me have one. bummer.
