Current Event 11:”About 100 praying mantis take over home”

A women in virginia had gotten a christmas tree and it had a mantis egg on it and when she had gotten it home the egg hatched! Over 100 praying mantises were going through here house. She fed them fruit flies while trying to find them a home that wasn’t in her house. A veterinarian Kreuze doesn't want to do what many people would do and vacuum them up. And the Article says “Although some people might simply vacuum up the bugs, Kreuze is trying to avoid that, preferring to scoop them up with an envelope & store them in a shoe box.” The mantises are crawling on the walls and ceilings of her house and maybe even her bedroom.


I feel bad that this women has to deal with this many mantises. This is why I always get a artificial tree on christmas. Many people like having them as pets (this has been proven). My thoughts on this is that when someone gets this package they don't like it. Like Kreuze is trying to remove them from her home. Is also afraid that they might come in her bedroom.


I got this information from and article by US news
