Critters!

My pal, Aliya and I enjoyed a bunch of critters last Saturday. We went to Lawrence to go to Monarch Watch's open house & plant sale, ate at local burger, where I had a tasty elk burger, and ended up at my mom's to see the chickens.




































This little guy was on my mint a different day. But he was too cute to leave out. I used to think praying mantis were creepy, but when you have one as a pet they change your mind.

  1. My mom had a praying mantis as a pet and while we were visiting in April one of her 6 egg sacks hatched! 20-30 little babies were running around! It was the coolest thing. I also took some video of the mama eating a meal worm and when I re watched it I noticed her little eyes were watching my every move!!! So Cool!

    Love your pics of the butterflies! Beautiful!
