Barbie Gets Alienated

****

I am sorry for this poor Mantis to be model in different poses - I am sure if he/she has a tongue would say: Leave me alone and let me live among my family members!

On the contrary, this mantis has been hanging upside down on a single branch in its cage with more than plenty of space to roam for more than a week.  If it had any kind of brain capacity to think that way it would be thanking me and telling me it was good to get out for 5 minutes but why did I put it back so soon.:)

Now here's a pic where she wanted me to leave her alone.  When I first got close to the aquarium she started walking around and dragging the poor bastard with her.  I shot this just a few minutes ago and am sure they are still going at it.  Picture is rotated 180 degrees.
