Poor girl

 

[Mantis Lady]

This old lady is still with me despite she doesn't eat much. but she likes to have a drink like she did on this photo;

She is still alert of her surroundings. But her hunting days are over.

A little update on  Esmeralda: Today she refused to drink, Think she will be gone soon. i dont remeber when i bought her, but think she lived a long life. and now she is old. eating she refused earlier. she was slapping to here food like "eeew that is not tasty"

i will enjoy her last days with me.

At the moment I am still thinking what species I want. maybe a H. masjuscula, ghost or a budwing...

here a pic of esmeralda.

She has no energy left and is slowly fading. I will keep her comfortly till she goes to mantis heaven. She had a good life. A long life for a mantis.

She is almost gone now, With her it went fast. Rest in peace, my girl
