My New Pet
#1

[Image: DSC04014small.jpg]

He's a praying mantis who's been living on/around my desk for the last few days. I named him Eric. (i'm assuming he's a he, btw).

I think he likes me, cause I let him outside, and he came back.

Has he got three eyes, or is that head jewellery. Wink
Lovely and sharp.

I'd love to have one of those. Your picture is great! Very nice detail and the color is beautiful. The blue background matches nicely with the color of your pet... Wink

Look forward to seeing more pictures of Eric!!

Haha, awesome... great that it keeps coming back...

Apparently some of the females kill and eat the males after ermm "doing it" so to speak...

Incidentally, one of my friends has recently adopted a redback spider - it's kinda cool and gross at the same time..

Sad to say but Eric has passed away. I found him this morning dead on my windowsill. Sad

Must have been a male. Love the "bling" on his head.

Canon stuff.
