The other night we had a visitor from our balcony.

He just walked in when my mum open the sliding glass door.

This is him, Chon the pray mantis!

this is one of the creatures Viz wanted to catch for sometime, and now he got it!

It`s funny how we get these insects. It seems we just come across when we aren`t looking for it!

At 7 o`clock next morning Viz and Hunny were down to the park hunting grasshoppers for Chon.

In ten minutes, they found a few and put that in a box. Then, in a couple of minutes Chon got one of then and started to eat! He was hungry, he ate two of them in very short time!

Next day we had another camping trip(same place as before) so, we left Chon under my dad`s care.

At the campsite, Viz and Hunny caught more grasshoppers and took them home for Chon.

One of grasshopper was big. That night , my mum found this grasshopper had strange thing coming out from his bum. As we watch an orange rumpy thing started to come out with white floss. It was laying eggs!! They bury eggs in the ground, but poor thing had to do it on plastic floor!

Then, smaller but same kind of grasshopper came near......

huh...?? Is it eating eggs???

And another small brown grasshopper came doing samething.

They must be eating eggs....!!!

And on the right under cucumber, green grasshopper`s dead. It looks like squashed by this big rump of cucumber...( actually it wasn`t squashed but it`s just more fun to think so...

And top of the box,

there is Chon, still hunting...

Oh, there were lots of dramas in this little box.

P.S. We found a strange looking hairy(spikey??) caterpillar at the campsite.

It looks like mini moving cacutas!
