Ms. Parrot
This is my praying mantis named Ms. Parrot. In this picture she is on my hand outside about to go out into the bush behind me. I raised her since she was a nymph. She is an adult female praying mantis now. Ms. Parrot is 6 months old. I have learned so much from her, like she prefers to eat at night. Ms. Parrot is a girl so she doesn’t need to fly and her wings are used for when she jumps. She usually spreads out her wings and uses them like parachutes. This skill is useful in the wild. It looks like she really liked it outside when we let her go. I love having her as a pet.
