Bug ownership is so interesting. Prettybug is very much about his attention- no matter how much I hold him, he’ll always act as if it’s never enough. He’s a bit of a diva in that regard- he knows he’s fabulous.

CJ? How dare you perceive him. You TOUCH CJ? You touch CJ with the finger? JAIL FOR KING! Jail for King for one THOUSAND YEARS! He tolerates me tong-feeding him but anything else is an exercise in Convincing™.

Mantis molts! I read about this when I was studying How to Pet Mantis. Nothing really prepares you for actually seeing it in person.

Caught my spiny flower mantis molting yesterday! I thought he was looking a bit puffy but I didn’t think much of it.

Of course, this comes just when I took a bunch of pictures of the Bugs™ because I needed some more up to date images…

This morning, a well-meaning but bizarre woman from my grandmother’s church jokingly asked me to move in with her. I dead seriously looked her in the eye and asked if I could bring my bugs, which ended that conversation pretty much instantly.

If I could fistbump Prettybug and CJ, I would.

They’re excellent guard bugs.

My talented child shed his skin last Friday! He’s officially on his third instar!!
