Its nice to meet you! Im aspergers too. I am a very good handspinner, (autistics are often excellent artists), and have raised mantids for 5+ years. Ive gone through meltdowns and hate them but, they happen.  Im better at reading and sensing things from my mantids than people.They certainly...

Sadness!

Mantis hats, hmmm. My mantids like to ride on my baseball type hats I wear in summer. Beyond that, I don't know.......

Can you take a closer picture?

Im sorry! I hope he lived a long time before he crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

They are similar to this one. I use angora, merino wool, baby alpaca and others. All natural fibers and colors.They are undyed.

I would donate one of my winter hats as a prize. They are nice!

Great!
