For the past 5 years I've been raising mantises I deal with at least a death every couple weeks. It never gets any easier. I'm pretty much bawling right now as I'm writing this holding my Dolce who has had all of her toes crack off. It's heartbreaking to remember them when they were so agile and able to grab onto everything hang upside down on everything and now she can't do anything. Dolce knows what's going on, she's looking at me with her big green sad eyes as I'm crying my eyeballs out here. Does anyone else feel as bad as I do when their mantises die or in the last stage of their lives? I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it maybe only a few people because everyone else would think I'm a wacko. Plus I go through so many dying that it's kind of like old news even to those few that I can talk to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
