Just been reading your blog. I taught Nathan and Emma at QES and remember them well. It seems so long ago now. What are they up to? I agree that Ingleton is a beautiful place to live - I miss it and our friends but we are also loving our new life here, exploring new places and meeting new people. Good luck with your writing. I'll pop in for a rewad every now and again! Cheers Anne Hi there Peter,

Its now about 2.5cm long with no blue markings on its legs and gets a good diet of flies nymphs and anything else I feed it. The reason why Im here though is because today I found something that looked closely related to a praying mantis but was the colour of a pepper moth with much smaller head and forearms and walk with a rythm that can only be described as robotic, I have only ever seen one of these before in my life and wonder if anyone knows what it is or if it is a local? It also seemed to fly alot better than its green cousin which is how I missed out on getting a photo of it. The praying mantis on my windowsill had no interest in eating it even though it was much smaller and ate a fly shortly after so she was definitely hungry. Any ideas?

It made me think of tempeh which I remember eating when I was a veggie!

And the fact that they hatch first means they are able to kill the NZ ones when hatch. The SA egg cases are different too being more round in shape starting off a soft green shade which changes to a soft pink. I would be surprised if the NZ mantis is still around in 25 years as the numbers of SA mantis increases at an alarming rate and I have certainly noticed here in Nelson the massive increase in them and sadly only 2 NZ and 1 Australia mantis were seen this summer. I myself kill as many SA mantis as I can but I feel it is a losing battle as well over 100 were killed on this property, my son finding a fat female only yesterday, the thin ones being the male.
