This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I feel sorry for anyone who never gets to see a praying mantis in person. Coolest critter on the planet

I released a few thousand a couple years in a row (got ooth, hatched them, there are just a lot of eggs in each) and would occasionally see the adult females around my property for a few years after (I’m not sure why the population never took hold, it should have and didn’t).

They are totally chill and will walk onto your hand pretty readily. They are also thrilled to be fed small insects from tweezers, and really like moth larva.
