A Pet

We now have a pet!  A praying mantis.  They are the meanest insect I know and I have 3 boys that like him.  His name is Lloyd.  Kade, Cole, and our friend and neighbor, Jake, collect all sorts of insects to feed him. The praying mantis wins the battle every time.  No, I have never watched-but have heard all of the gross detail while telling them not to explain any further.  Lloyd lives in a shoebox with sticks, grass, plastic wrap for a see-through cover, and a lid to close him off so I can't see in. Perfect.  Here are some pics.

Yes a bee!  He is a goner.  Why did I even let them catch a bee??

That's right, I didn't...
