Good gifts

Some mothers get their kids dumb things like Ipods and four wheelers.  Not this mom. Nope I get my kids things that they can really use.  Things like bugs!  That's right you read it here first.  Today the praying mantis eggs that I ordered for Matthew came in the mail.
Just read that description. What could be more compelling or thrilling.  He can put these two beauties out in his garden and gone are the days of picking potato bugs.  No more cut worms on the cucerbits.

They may not be much to look at now but those to miracles are jam packed with insect fascination.
Not only that but when the males have done their part in the job of future procreation he can watch the females consume their mates.  If that isn't the ideal form of population control I don't know what is.
