Don't believe me? Here's a picture of one! Can you see it?

For weeks I watched the pods day and night until today when
little tiny creatures began to crawl out! Amazing, huh?

After closer inspection, I realized these were tiny versions of something I've seen before! Here's the video!

Yes, there must be hundreds in this praying mantis family. If I could somehow convince them that I am their leader, they could vote me in as "Emperor of the World" once they are legal voting age. I have placed portraits of me disguised as their leader next to the three remaining pods. Now they will surely regard me as their leader... or a food source.

I hope to provide more praying mantis updates this summer!

Volcanos are scary, but if your house is made of tortilla chips and
the volcano spews cheese instead of lava, then volcanos are REALLY scary!
