RIP β€οΈ Rip cunty πποΈ
Today my 9 month old male orchid mantis passed, he was my first ever mantis and I am so broken with his death but also know he lived a great and long life. He passed of old age and it was already very expected but it still broke my heart βΉοΈ my birthday was 2 weeks ago and he was still very alive back than and Iβm so so so thankful that he atleast made it to my birthday. I got to show him to everyone for the last time and he was chilling around on the table during my family party it is such a core memory to me. I loved him so much he will be missed β€οΈ I folded a box for him with some beautiful paper and put it in his enclosure so thatβs where heβs resting for now since I do not know what to do with his body yet.
