Marbled Mantis eats....

....BANANAS!

Partially inspired by Precarious333's video (youtube.com/watch?v=N5XpqmPM3Rk&feature=plcpI am a shameless fangirl) I made banana bread so I decided to offer my adult Madagascan Marbled Mantises some nibbles of an overripe banana slice as a treat. Duchess ate it like a lady but Fifi dived in face first, but not before attempting to gobble my hand.

This is Duchess, she is always a proper lady except when she poops:



Fifi is a piglet and a savage:





Hope some of you were at least mildly entertained by this, I know I was!

I think that person who wants vegan mantids would be intrigued by this.

Hahaha! No way, that stuff is treat food only! That would be like eating candy for the rest of your life; great in concept, nasty in execution.
