Last night as the Atkinsons were leaving we were out on the porch and couldn't help but notice a pretty HUGE praying mantis on the side of the house. Since Griff was already in bed we decided to house the bug for the night so he could check it out in the morning...thus we named him Preacher (he is a praying mantis after all), and put him in a container with some leaves and water. And today after Ben got home (I was honestly too creeped out by this bug to handle show-n-tell on my own) Griff got to check him out. And, the boy that he is, he loved it. And when G was done checking out Mr. Preacher, we let him go right where we found him...which Griff wasn't very happy about, but we told him Preacher guards our house. He wasn't satisfied with that, but we distracted him...
Videos at the bottom. :) Griff absolutely LOVES to see animals eat, so that was his favorite part. Eat, bug, eat more, eat!
