Cool!
10 years ago
So yesterday was a pretty uneventful day for me, all I did was sit on my ass and watch TV all day. So I got bored and decided to go out for a walk, but I didn't feel like going anywhere so I just walked around the property, played fetch with the dog, smoked a bowl, and enjoyed the sunny afternoon.
Now for the cool part, I didn't even know they lived out here, and it was the highlight of my day. I found a praying mantis! It was dead, mind you, but the thing I found next to it looked like a tiny wasp nest. When I did some research on the Internet and found out that some species of praying mantis die shortly after laying their eggs, I realized that thing next to the dead mantis had to be its eggsac.
I've got it sitting on my windowsill in a mason jar now, and since it's around that time of the year when mantises start hatching from their eggs, that means I'm going to have a fuck-ton of baby mantids on my hands - like 200 or more - within the next few weeks or so. I plan on keeping a few as pets and releasing the rest by scattering them around the property. This is gonna be awesome!
