NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK/PLANT

Just wanted you to meet the 5 newest residents at the camp:
Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo,
and
Jeffery

These guys are baby Praying Mantis' and they are soooo cute. I saved them from certain death in the "back room" & moved them to their new home on my sweet potato plant. I have NO idea what they eat, but with my luck they HATE sweet potato's, but I have a feeling that they are more likey carnivorous than not, so maybe they can find plenty of "no-see-ums" in the dirt around the plant.

THE NURSERY


See how small & defenseless they are
(that's Meeny I think)



LOOK!!! There's Jeffery
That's 2 of them...,
there WERE 5 of them yesterday...,
HMMM???...
did I mention that I think they might be
Carnivorous?

wow. I can't believe you named them! And such imaginative names too. How do you know which ones survived? Can you tell them apart or did you just say "I like the name Jeffrey best, so he's a survivor?"

I'm interested in the psychological aspect of this whole thing.
