my kids and their mantids

[Engraver30]

I am having alot of fun teaching my kids about nature. They love bugs and all other wildlife. Here are a couple pics of them with our first Chinese Mantid.

Thanks for looking

Ha! What was your child in the first picture eating? I'd be careful letting them climb on your face. They will strike at the eye. I know from painful experience :x .

Yeah messy faces lol

The mantid just finished eating and to date he has never struck or tired to bite any of us. My son thought he was a butterfly and tried to pollonate our flowers eairlier today and it stained his face. :lol:

Still, I wouldn't do it. Mine cost me hundreds of dollars in eye surgery.

I'm too scared that the kids would squish the mantis.

You don't know my kids, they are the biggest nature freaks in the world. You give them a forest and they will find any bug you can immagine. In fact my son just brought me home a L1 or L2 Chinese Mantid(I think) that he caught today over his friends house. My wife and I taught them to be respectful of nautre and not to hurt animals or bugs.

Besides, I am always within a few feet of them when they are handling the mantids and we only have one out at a time.

Gut thanks for your concern.

Admit, you've tried to lick your eye before; just to see what it tastes like...

That was so wrong
