Some of you may remember my praying mantis quasi-nightmare: a full nest of praying mantises hatching, unnoticed, in the middle of my kitchen. They were quickly ushered outside, and a couple of them were named.

Like Charlie,

Who could forget Charlie?

Well, he may very well have grown up and come back, searching for Corey to rekindle their friendship.

What he found was two very curious girls. 

And one cat, desiring to eat him.

The bug days of summer are dwindling. Today, in fact, is the last sunny day in the extended forecast. Nothing but grey and rain for the next…

FOREVER.

Ok, a bit of an exaggeration. But definitely for a little while.

Guess I better get outside.

Charlie’s waiting.
