On Wednesday, as we were about to be dismissed, our teacher got a call from her friend Georgia. She said that she was cleaning out her garage and she found a big creature in a jar. She said that she wanted to donate it to our class. It could possibly be a praying mantis, but she had never seen one that large.
We were excited because Classtopia's insect is the praying mantis.
So, this morning before our teacher came, she stopped off at Georgia's house to get the praying mantis.
When we first looked at her we noticed that she was very big. Everyone took turns looking at her. Then we decided that she must be pregnant and placed her in the Epiphyte garden. We chose this site for her because has the most plants and places to shelter, eat, and lay eggs. She would have a safe place for her young to develop.
We will have to wait a while to see all the young insects, if everything goes well.
