your resident alien

Mooli in all her upside-down glory

The morning after, we found out that she had laid eggs! I wasn't sure that they were fertilized, but there was a good chance, so we kept the case on our plant. Mooli left a day after laying the eggs. (Farewell, my friend, I hope you lived a good life filled with lots of bugs)

Mama mantis with her eggs

Well, after three long weeks, guess what? They did hatch! I now have 4 little baby mantises running amok our plants and absolutely devouring all the plant-eating bugs.

Sweet tiny little puppy

It's been storming quite a lot here now that it's almost the monsoons. I hope they dont get blown away by the winds. I really hope they stay with us, but if they don't, i wish them all the best for their adventures ahead! I've already begun feeling a bit motherly towards them, though, so I can't help but worry.

Baby trying to reach the other side (I believe in you!)

I've given them names. They're named after Sonic characters, because I'm a little freak nerd.

The biggest of them all is a fast little bugger. Like blink and he's traveled from your finger to your shoulder fast. Of course he had to be Sonic. (He's the one in the third pic)

The one in the fourth pic is Knuckles. He's a warrior through and through!

Tails is also in the same picture, but he's really just a green blur. He's not quite strong enough to run yet, but he's made amazing progress in just two hours!

Last but not least, Amy ready to fight like the fierce gal she is. Adorable, all of them.
