Eclectic mantis, bug, and tamagotchi dad

What happens when your mantis gets really old, this is mostly for new owners, and for me to look back on and tear up. Mavis has been around for 4 months which is impressive for a male.

Scratch grew to a full adult, she's so pretty and fierce.

My first stick insect baby emerged, I found this little menace on my wall somehow.

Knowing how to make a fluffy pizza dough is truly dangerous knowledge.

I'll probably watch it like this on the way to the cinema next month.

-Mavis

Got loads of footage of Mavis pouncing the other day, only Shakira fits these shots.

She no longer plays dead, instead she'll guard or try to fight things.

Sorry, she fell*

Hi Yiss

I was worried because mavis wouldn't eat the dubias I would present and cut up, I tried accepting that maybe she won't eat as much as an adult, nope I just had to present the right thing; locusts or waxworms, she's become pickeier as an adult 🙃

My first 3 mantises, Roy is gone and Mavis is now an adult.
