skrobertsRoomie MK broke down and now has a Betta herself. Muhahaha!!
His name is Alfie. He's wee-er than my boys and has blue eyes. Quite handsome.
One day last semester, we found a fat mantis on the sidewalk. To prevent squishage, we picked it up to move it and, well, we ended up keeping it. Long story short, it was a female and soon had "baby pods" (egg sacks) like crazy! A few weeks ago, the baby pods started hatching, and now we have some two dozen wee nymphs. :D
Look at them all!
That green paper is a streamer left over from a party. It's about 4.4 cm wide, to give you a clue as to how tiny these guys are.
"Hiya!"
*squishes them*
