Daughters first pet

[Preyingmatti]

Hey guys

I'm going to be asking plenty daft questions in the future so I'll apologise in advance

I've always loved mantids since a child, the weirder (and usual more dangerous) the animal the more I fell in love, this became even more true when I saw a wild one in Spain but alas my wife at the time was having none of it. 

My daughter who is now 6 is fascinated by them, watching them on YouTube stalking their prey and attacking huge spiders/scorpions and frogs so I took the plunge, I done hours and hours of research and finally got her a tiny Asian mantis (who has been named delilah by my daughter) as her first pet.

Welcome!

Mantids are a great first pet! I hope she gets hooked.

Thanks, 

Oh no doubt she's hooked, she won't stop until she has an orchid

Welcome, a cool first pet for your daugther. The mantis will teach her that not all insects are pests but are beautiful
