I'm writing to cope with what I saw this morning.

Steve was going to a meeting this morning. As usual, we were running late. So I rolled out of bed, put english muffins in the toaster, threw on shoes and stumbled to the end of the drive way to move the garbage bins so he could pull out without hitting them. I'm still in my pajamas, half asleep, grabbing the first bin. I move it to the side of

It's actually comforting to know that there are others out there who would react this way to seeing that. Heh. Weird things like that sometimes just trip me out, but other times will somehow manage to wriggle their way under my skin and trully depress me. So, I get ya.

:(

I love praying mantises too! I've only gotten to see maybe 4 in the wild (and one was this amazing SILVER one in Panama).

[kudgoddess]

Thank you:)

Yeah if it wasn't so horrifying, I would actually be interested in seeing something I'd normally only see on the nature channels. But yeah, it was just bad.

A silver praying mantis?! Wow! That sounds amazing.
We've got the little green ones around here, so the peachy colored one was new too.

:)

I wonder... maybe it was a molting gone bad, as opposed to something mating related... hence the strange peach color? I know with tarantulas and such, they can occasionally loose a leg or something during molting. I wonder if a mantis could loose its... head?

[kudgoddess]

Very interesting idea. Well you know what I'll be researching on my break today:)

[mrtonylee]

The problem you have is you look at this and go 'horror.'

Steve looks at this and goes 'research'.... :)

Hope you get a mindwipe soon x

[grafunkel]

I know someone around here who'd go 'lunch!'.

...

Dammit, now I'm hungry.

[kudgoddess]

Haha! Probably. Although I think even Steve was a little freaked out by it. It's not something you see everyday!

Hope you're doing good:)

awww, well at least you know that praying mantis' are having sex at your place.

[kudgoddess]

True. At least he was a father before she bit his head off:)

[slade81]

wow.
that's about all i can say.
if its really burned in your head you could always draw a comic about it.
hope ya feel better.

[kudgoddess]

Thank you, I do feel better today. I might draw something from it, it's just too weird to not address it in some art.

:)

Yegh. Sounds like a David Lynch movie.

No praying mantis's over here, though. ... Exploding pigs roaming the streets at night, yes, but no praying mantis's's'ss's'sss. S.

[kudgoddess]

Exploding pigs?! Ahhh! That would not be a fun sight!! Ugh.
