Oh wow....

I know a lot of people aren't really smart in the area of inscets, but this just took the cake.

(story time kids!)

I took my european to school and she stayed in my Chem teacher's room for the whole day. Well I asked a frined of mine to pick up the mantis cause I had to get to my locker and time so I wouldn't miss my bus. Anyway my friend waited outside to give my mantid back to me and then we went our separate ways.

Five minutes later I get a call from the friend. She was on her bus and some girl as her was she was holding, now this is the atcual conversation between them:

"What were you holding before?"

"It was a european mantis."

"What's that?"

"You know, a praying mantis?"

"No..."

"It's an insect."

"OH! You mean a lizard?"

"................"

I wish I was there when it happened. But man! How do you mistake a lizard for a mantis? See this is basically why I'm bringing my mantids to school, so a crazy thought like this doesn't happen again.

It still gave me a good laugh. :lol:

sounds like a dangerous place for an insect, well so long as noone tries to kill it with the knowledge that it is someones animal.... :blink: i've noticed many people call bees wasps and flies ''bees''...that just adds a little to the ignorance pile...

Killing a lizard is kinda messy, right?

Yes very all girl schools are close to heck for bugs. I swear the girls see a bug and they scream and try to step on it.

Yeah it's so sad, I have people thinking the mantids are spiders, or excint. :blink:

YES, omg it's horrible too.

Thank you. I just think it's sad that no one knows what a mantis is.

Thank you very much.

Yep, the sad thing is I told that girl what a mantis was a couple days beforehand.

This begs the question; what ARE people learning in school...?

:lol: I have to ask that question sometimes too and I'm still in school.
