She is so beautiful! Pale blue and brown with salmon under her arms.

Well, I absolutely adore her and she is getting older I suppose. Did anyone see a sign outside my house that said Mantid Rest Home?

Aaaaanyway, I let her free range A LOT!

I usually put her on a plant and she's fine.

Well I came home the other day and freaked out because I couldn't find her.

At last ... I found her.

Left for a bit came back and she's gone again!!! Ding dang it!

Found her again though.

Then I found this.

I mean...REALLY!?

She thinks she owns the place!

I didn't even notice the ooth in the first picture!

Love this species. Very nice temperament. I wish I could have breed mine.

 
A ooth even if it is teeny, that could have 15-20 in it? Was she mated?

Her abdomen seems to have a scar but she's still is a looker! Your building quite the collection there... ;) Nice

Now where's the hand made silk shirt I ordered??? :p

 
She is super sweet and laid back , but she eats. I've never seen a blue mantis, so I am completely smitten by her! She runs the bug room. You should ask Precarious about them, if you want to know more. I got her from him.

He was unable to mate her, I believe.

Oh! I believe what you are talking about are little vestigial wings? I think that's what you guys call them? But I'm not a pro. She has them on each side and that's just what I assumed. You know what they say about assuming things though, right?!

The things sticking out of the abdomen?
