this was my pet Chinese praying mantis named Gremlin. she died at 7th instar on November 21st because we had no food for her. there were no bugs out since it was too cold. and my grandma wouldn't go to the pet store to buy some mealworms or crickets simply because she didn't feel like it. also my mom was sick, so she couldn't bring any mealworms or go to my grandma's house (btw my real grandma is dead, the one i live with is my foster grandma, thought y'all should know). every November, I always think of Gremlin, because that's the month she died.

Gremlin was in my bed on a cold day. I thought it would be cute and kind to put her there because she must've been a little bit cold. I did have her outside for a minute or two, but she was still mostly fine I think.

she was in the flowers... i really miss her because of this... :(

i miss her :( #prayingmantis #mantis #mantid #mantids #prayingmantid #prayingmantids
