A lesson in life cycles

The other day AB found a praying manthis on the back porch. Since it is getting cooler and the poor thing was probably headed towards its demise, he brought it in and put it in the very nice big jar I bought for Leif's Pez dispensers. (Pez dispensers were deposited on the floor.)

He and Leif had to pick Winny up after her grooming appointment this weekend so they also picked up some crickets. For the past few days we have "enjoyed" watching the praying manthis jump on and devour - in little pieces - the live crickets.

We came home today to see the lid from the top of the glass container on the floor. And a half a praying manthis laying next to it.

Lucky now has a new and sudden obsession with the crickets in the Tupperware container.
