are you going to feed it hummingbirds often?

I might have to disown you.

our mantis is way way way too small to feed on hummingbirds. that wasn't marvin in that hummingbird picture. he is only about an inch long. plus, he ran away. that's right. our pet is no longer. I'm going to get another one though..they are so cute!

sorry Katrina, but I have to disagree. I really can''t see anything cute about them, I really just have never liked mantises
