Mantis

Meet my Babe's pet Mantis (he's obsessed with Kung Fu Panda)

 

Obviously it's not really his pet but 2 of these little guys have been living on our porch for the past few weeks. My husband has been holding them so that my Babe could say hi to them and get a closer look but he has yet to touch one until now

 

 

He actually cried for about 20 minutes before hand, torn between whether or not he wanted to hold him which will explain his red eyes in this next picture....when the Mantis jumped on him

 

 

Nestling his ear and hair for a minute

 



 

and then jumped off.

He was so excited and asks about the Mantis everyday.
