You know your a mantis person when...

[Krissim Klaw]

You loose track of a mantis on your desk only to find them sitting on your shoulder.

You can take a mantis to the face without flinching.

You see beautiful butterflies fluttering by some flowers and think, those would make a great snack for my bugs.

The roaches/fruit flies/flies outnumber the humans in your household a 1,000 to 1.

Your resident dog lets out loud sighs when you start baby talking to your claw babies.

You regularly have large mantis butts blocking parts of your computer screen.

Feel free to add your own!

Your the only person in your class not terrified at the sight of a little stink bug 

 

[Connor]

Your room turns into a zoo of insects

You spend every last penny on BUGS

Your Family says you film “bug porn”

 

[River Dane]

Your Family says you film “bug porn”

That’s an interesting one, lol.

You feel like you accomplished good by making getting your friends to hold mantises.

 

[Okoboji22]

You find yourself correcting people who pronounce the word praying mantis wrong.

pronuonciantions I have heard include: pray mantis, prying mantis, and manti.

I feel the same way!  LOL

You are hyper aware of all flies anywhere near you and carry little bottles in your purse at all times so you can catch them wherever you are. 

You have collected maggots from your green bin without flinching cause 'the kids' gotta eat.

 

[agent A]

you hoard dead mice to rear maggots within

 

[Ocelotbren]

Your resident dog lets out loud sighs when you start baby talking to your claw babies.

You refer to your mantids as your claw babies (love it by the way!).

LOL...the first thing I think when I see an house fly anywhere is, 'My mantis would like to eat that!"

 

[izbiggs]

You are ready to tear any type of insect in half for your mantids. I've gotten splattered by worm (and fly, and roach) many times on my face. 

 

[hibiscusmile]

I like the butts blocking the pc screen ... :lol:

When you find yourself telling your friends bug stories as their eyes glaze over!

 

[Jessie]

When they become your best friends.

When they help you with your anxiety and depression.

When they saved your live from depression and helped when your cat died.

When they become the only ones who seem to care.

 

[Mantis Lady]

When you talk to your mantis like he is a dog.

When you have your mantis home on your desk so you can have a look on it every moment of the day.
