Hey everyone,
I am back! Lockdown has been pretty boring for everyone but I have my fish, cats and new praying mantis. I found him/her (I call it a boy) outside on our cabbage tree and have had him for a couple of weeks now. He has him own container the correct size with holes in the lid. It has dirt at the bottom with sticks to climb on and fruit-flies and aphids to eat.
My Mum said he might like to be set free so I thought about it for a few days and decided it
was best to set him free. So, I went to put him by some bugs on our lettuce plant but he didn't go onto the lettuce. He walked straight back up my arm! He wanted to stay with me! He has just recently molted and he can walk across a rope upside down like a tightrope. He can also jump from one paper cup to the other if I put food on one of the cups. I'm going to train him to jump really far and enter him in a talent show!
In one of these photos, I was taking a photo of him on my hand. Then, once I had taken the photo, he randomly pounced onto my keyboard! Here are a few photos and videos of him:
I just researched that about his gender and it turns out he is a boy!
Ok, bye for now! If you have any free time, please leave a comment. Blog you later!
