Instagram and Mantis Garden
5 years ago
Object In Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear.
So, I'm on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chewtoysqueaks/
I mostly post pics of my dinosaur toys, but lately I've been taking pictures of my mantis friends from out in my "garden". I say "garden," but it's really a patch of mint and weeds that I barely tend to.... If I "garden" anything out there, it is mantids! There are four of them at least: Wings, Barky, Twigs, and Bean. (Although two of those might be the nymphs I saw and named "Green Bean" and "Grey Boi" earlier in the season, all grown up.) I suspect that they know I like having them around... maybe they trust me to keep them safe... even if not, they're still a delight to have around. <3 Have I mentioned that mantids are my favorite type of insect? :3
That's about the most exciting bit of my life lately. Still not sure if/when I'm gonna be ready to open commissions again... been having a major lapse of creativity for a few years. :/ Still hoping to work up some gumption there, but we'll see.
Oh, and I have developed a love for grilled Velveeta on brioche. Velveeta's such processed crap, but it's so melty and tasty and goes so well with that buttery bread... it's just so yummy. p.q
That's what's up. Take care.
