      I actually don't believe that literally Pokemon. Think about it. Pokemon don't exist. It was debunked. Anybody who believes that Pokemon exist is a scam artist. We need to do more to protect ourselves from these kinds of trolls. Pokemon can't exist. This is a scam all the way. Don't be duped so easily. There is a 10 million dollar award for anyone that can attempt to prove that pokemon are not a myth. This racist myth of pokemon existing was started in a chain mail by a doctor that thought it would be funny to make up an entire thing that people would think is real but it obviously isn't real. It's racist garbage like this keeps the internet from being a good place. Pokemon is a myth that isn't real. Nobody should believe that Pokemon are in fact actually real. If Pokemon were real, we would be seeing this in the form of actual evidence. If pokemon existed, where are they? I don't think anybody could ever possibly believe that Pokemon actually exist. It's a stupid idea to spread that Pokemon in fact exist.

    When I was a kid, I was fascinated by the praying mantis and though (and still do) that they are the coolest insects in the world. Unfortunately, I was terrified of them because I honestly believed that they would attack me if I got close to them. However, about 10 years ago, I was in the front yard smoking and as I leaned against the wall, I noticed a praying mantis about 2 feet away from my face. So I picked it up and handled it and realized that mantids are extremely docile, and some even enjoy being picked up. I ended up buying a nice home for the mantis to live in. I learned that once they get used to you, they become quite affectionate and want to be around you or on you when you're near them. It used to hang out on my shoulder, my head, and latch onto the rim of my glasses. The only time it bit me was on accident. I was feeling her some honey water on my finger and wasn't really paying attention, she finished, and enthusiastically nibbled on the tip of my finger. Needless to say, because of her I ended up adopting a couple of exotic mantids over the years, with my favorite being the idolo mantis and orchid mantis.

      I don't know much about exotic mantids, but the three that I've had (all ones I've found in my backyard) were all so friendly. Admittedly, I did see that my female, Dahlia, did not enjoy being handled much. I ended up letting her go so that she could do her own thing. It's very fun to see how something as small as a bug can have varying personalities, likes, and dislikes.
      The first praying mantis I ever had, Gumball, was really the one that stole my heart. I met him in Virginia during summer, after a six hour long road trip. I had placed my cap down on the table, and not five minutes passed when I noticed my little green friend staring up at me. At first, I was startled, but I've always been an animal lover, so I adjusted quickly and soon offered it my finger. It seemed like he was used to climbing on people, because he instantly crawled up my arm and perched himself on my head. You could tell that it was his favorite place to be. Whenever I took him out to play, he would always sprint onto my hand so that he could get to my hair as fast as possible.
      One of my favorite things about Gumball was his ability to scare off my dogs. I wouldn't have to worry about them eating him, because he'd always start smacking their faces if they got too close. Maybe he was trying to climb on them too, but the fact that it looked like he was throwing punches was always enough to put a smile on my face. There was only one dog that I think Gumball was friends with, though. My little rescue dachshund, Timmy (aka Dum-Dum). Gumball would crawl up his leg while Timmy was sitting in my lap and perch himself right on his neck, where his fur was thickest. Timmy's reaction to this was always adorable. He'd sniff the mantis cautiously before snorting and putting his head back down. Little Timmy didn't care for the mantis much, but Gumball sure did love him.
      I haven't mentioned my second male, Bruce, yet. He was nothing compared to Gumball, but he still did appreciate attention a little bit. I think he had to be in the right mood for it. I'd have the best luck handling him when it was around dusk. Unlike my first male, Bruce wasn't very active and preferred to just sit on my hand rather than crawl all over me.
      I am still trying to find another mantis that was as loving as Gumball was, but the truth is that they are wild animals, and being friendly to humans doesn't have that much of an evolutionary advantage.
      P.S. -- Gumball's favorite food was moth. He never turned them down when I offer them, even if I fed him less than an hour ago. Lol.

    Dude, no lie, I have had a similar relationship with a praying Mantis too. This is real, folks! Mantises are truly very smart insects, with real personalities. Also, if you ave never seen a Mantis baby hatching happen, you must. The case that they come out of looks almost exactly like a type of stinging asp in parts of the world. It's incredible to watch these little perfect baby Mantises by the dozens squirm out of their case. You gotta check it out!

    I found a praying mantis on a searing hot storage building with no nearby plants so I took it home. Actually got crickets from the pet store to feed it and set up a terrarium in a 3 gallon water jar from Sams (minus water). Although I have multiple plants indoors and he had full run, you still can't compensate for all of the elements in nature that make up his habitat. So he was eventually freed into a verdant jungle full of bugs to live out his life. These creatures are like having a miniature dinosaur with personality. But, like with all creatures, natural habitat is best and we can't compensate for that, no matter how creative we are.

    When I lived in southern Mississippi in the 70s, we were watching TV and suddenly saw a bunch of little somethings crawling in under the front door. They were a SWARM of baby praying mantises! We very carefully swept them up in the dustpan and sprinkled them onto our gardens, lol. It was awesome.
    They don't have them in the Seattle area, so I haven't seen one in decades. I'm hoping to see one now that I'm in Ohio.
