Amanda Mantis

Here she is sitting on a geranium. I'm not finished with her yet, or I should say, I'm haven't finished her off yet. I put her in a glass salad bowl with a screen on top. She has a couple of twigs, a bit of geranium, a splash of water, but still hasn't eaten the small spider I put in with her. She did get close to it, but hours later hadn't get any closer. So I added an earwig which promptly disappeared under something. Then I messed around with other additions and tried to get her to do something. Is this sort of like the Romans, the lions, and the slaves in the Coliseum? No, that's silly. It's fun science.
