Week 4:My new pet

My New Pet

 My new pet is a praying mantis and his name is Manti. I was watching a movie on my computer when my mum called me from out the front when she was gardening. She said that she was cutting down thorns and she found a bug and she didn't want to cut it down. Mum knows that I like bugs and she didn't want to touch it. She asked what it was and I told her it was a praying mantis. Then I picked it up and ran inside, got a special shoe box and put manti in it. Then I went of my movie and did lots of research on how to look after praying mantis's. To make a long story short, I looked up how to make a home, how to look after a praying mantis, and how to tell it's gender. I needed to tell Manti's gender because I wanted to to call Manti he or her and I also wanted to know if I could let Manti have baby's. I needed to know if Manti could have baby's because when praying mantis's mate, the female praying mantis bites of the male mantis' head half way through mating and then when they are finished the male mantis dies.Manti is a male and if I let Manti mate, he will die.
I have had Manti for longer than two weeks now and he has learnt to listen to me. I trust him.

Manti is safe in his box and he can't get out.

We have a great relationship.
