RIP Gerrit
I found Gerrit, my first and atm only spiny leaf insect, hanging dangling from a branch this morning. All weak and soft. She was dying. She was still responding but she was already mostly gone. I will miss her; spent a lot of time with her, talking to her, having her on my hand or next to me in her travel box whilst I was working for school. She joined me on my first internship (which was abroad). She's traveled a lot, took a lot of trains, been in the mountains twice (Alps and Pyrenees), loved the sea air on our holiday in France this summer. She's been to France twice and spent probably 2 months or a bit more of her life there. She spent 1/5 of her life in France. Amazing. She was a whole new and wonderful experience. Gerrit, you will be missed. Rest in peace little one. 🍁🕯️🖤
