When I left my classroom today and took all the stuff to the car to load it up and proceed home, I noticed a very large (presumably gravid) praying mantis on the car. I left it there, thinking it would fly off as the car moved.
But no.
I drove at the regulation 50km down to Woolworths were there is a money machine, and the thing was still there when I stopped the car. So I captured it, and put it in my lunch box, and released her into the vegetable garden here at home. Although the trip home may have been unpleasant, I bet my garden is a better place to live than the Woolworths car park.
But who knew they could hang onto the side of a car travelling at 50km?
