Kermit eats an orchid

[patrickfraser]

I had a straggling female orchid that was not gripping surfaces correctly and I knew this was imminent. Woke up this morning to a freshly mismolted mantis. There was absolutely no way to correct itself, so it was off to the land of the lost and the home of the mantis disposer. I had to take pictures. These have got to be the most well fed chams around.

THAT WAS DELICIOUS! Kermit got his name after I decided on Miss Piggy for my female. She's getting BIG and eats like a pig. I thought it was a good name for a pair with the revival of the Muppets. The Muppets have always been a current event in my heart.

Steve I bought them from you at the sbck meeting, any idea? Sure is a cute thing. i can get a picture if you need it.

Cute thing sounds like maybe a type of Creobroter. Maybe I'll have to attend the next SBCK meeting and bring some of my wares. I'm working overtime on these things and could do with lessening my load.
Does it look anything like this?

They like silkworms, too.

 

[SSimsswiSS]

Yes, could be a creo. Picture would help. You should diffinitely come to a meeting with your insects Mr. Fraser.

I've had my eye on the last 2 meetings, but always had something at work that had to be done. Maybe the next one.
