Just wanted to introduce you to our family's new pets. Lucy and Ethel. They are praying mantids. Yes, a praying mantis eats other bugs, and yes we have been hunting them bugs. Luckily our apartment's big green trash can provides more than enough flies, and there are tons of moths and butterflies around not to mention beatles and the occasional spider outside.
We have had them about a week or two. They are nice to watch. Ethel is a little on the mean side and likes to try to flap her wings at me or escape when I toss in her food. Lucy likes to hang from her stick in her cage.
