Says Nikki : I don't know what they see in those silly Creos. FEH! I'm the most beautiful.

Dem old gal mantises know how to kick back and relax in comfort.

You bet Krissim! And Nikki has been strutting around as a full adult since she came to my door in mid September.
She is showing her age though. She lost all her tarsi and a tibia quite a while ago. And this new macro shot has revealed
deterioration or some microbial growth at the base of her antennae. Invisible with the naked eye, but pretty prominent with the magnified photo.

She is truly queen of the castle! Long live the Queen!! Too bad she and Sticky couldn't have met. She might have laid fertile ooths.

It could have been a grand family ! Great misfortune that Nikki's ooths have turned out to be duds (so far).
