I know, it's a shock, Mani is a mommy! This came as a very unexpected surprise, but I believe this spring I will become a grandparent to many very tiny praying mantises. Never one to call a lady fat, especially one that is know for killing mates, I didn't want to say anything to her about her belly, but it was very large. She had been eating every moving creature put in her cage, so I figured she just needed to control her eating habits like I do. Instead, I came home to find her laying her eggs in a nest above her favorite hunting grounds.
This definitely is my good deed for the year (with a whole month to spare)! Not only did I save Mani from a cold and certain death, but by doing so, I even saved countless other unborn Mani's and Manny's! I wonder when the mayor is going to give me a call to receive the key to the city...
Oh, and since they won't be born until the spring, I'm not obligated as a grandparent to buy them Christmas gifts this year!!
