He's back... ...maybe

Remember him? Dudley Monty the praying mantis that never was? This is how he ended up:

Well, we've just been informed that 'due the the failure of becoming what he was supposed to become', the next praying mantis egg shipment is on it's way (and this one is free :).... oh goodie. Does that mean this one will be traveling everywhere once again? But wait! I'm not prepared-- I don't even have a name picked out-- any suggestions?

I have yet to figure out if it's a good thing that we're not like normal families with pets of fish or cats or puppies, or if it just makes us all the more crazy :)

Of course there is always the chance this one will be a dud too.... or will it look like this? (and this one was totally free, sitting on our front porch)~

Just when you thought you were safe, the praying mantis saga continues.... Guess we'll have to order some of those yummy looking vials of fruit flies too... babies are such hard work....
