Cult: Cont. saga of praying mantis


 Well, out trying to get last of iris in ground. Bugs, my cat true to it's
name, is w me chasing the bugs. There was a male mantis trying to do it's
thing and Bugs wouldn't leave them alone, so I put them in a jar hoping they
d finish in safety.
Mistake, the female praying mantis ate the head off the male.

Never mind, 30 minutes later, male is still doing it's thing without a head.
Nature never fails to amaze me. I decided to take them out of jar and put
them on a bush that Bugs couldn't reach.  It was getting dark so will see
this morning if she is still there.

I wish Bugs would stick to catching the grasshoppers.
