This is kinda a weird story...
About 10 days ago, my friend and his girl friend noticed a Praying Mantis near thier apartment... My friend, being the bully he is, started to mess
with the insect...
Poking it with sticks, dangling a chain in front ot it... getting it to Freak out...
All in good fun...
Then something happen...
The Insect CHARGED him... and him and his girlfreind ran up the staires...
The Praying Mantis then made its way up the stair case... Clinging on the wall...
And then parked itself outside of her doorway...
So now, my firends G/F was stuck in her apartment... The Mantis also camped out thier neighbors door too... as he was partaking in the fun messing
with the insect...
The Mantis Held onto the wall, and staked out the doorway all night...
The next day, my firends G/F calls us up, and says the Mantis is still outside her door, and she is too scared to move...
So me and my friend go across town and check it out... The Mantis had gone on 18 hours of slaking now... going back and forth between the 2
doorways...
So, my friend and i decided to catch the bug... so his g/f wouldnt have to be scared anymore... That alone would have made it a scary story.. a bug
holding a grudge...
So we had the Mantis at MY apartment for a night, and then releasied it into a tree the next day... that was the end... so we thought...
6 days later, we notice the mantis on our balcony... he has turned from a Bright green, into a light tan brown to match out balcony...
He has been camping on our balcony for days...
We move closely... at first, our minds are blown that this little guy was still here... his outer shell now brown... and we assumed he was dead... my
friend and i moved VERY close to it... with a camera... We were mere inches from the bug... Ready to snap a picture of the bug we thought was
dead...
We were right next to it, and IT MOVED... AHHH... ever heard 2 grown men scream like little girls... well, thats what we did... we screemed and RAN
like little girls...
The Mantis was STILL ALIVE...
The Mantis then moved to my sliding glass door, and has been sitting there for the last day or so... I can't go onto the balcony, for fear of this
little bug...
I am blown away by this bugs intelegence...
It LITERLY is stalking me... Camping out, waiting to strike...
First it camped out at my firends G/F's place, now, on my balcony...
I think it is too smart to just kill...
im blown away by this thing...
I think im going to catch it and set it free across town...
I hate my stalker...
