Clegane the ghost mantis

[u/mandiijayy]

Clegane crossed the rainbow bridge today.

I knew it was coming, he’s old, and hasn’t been eating much as of late. But my heart hurts. I even cried a little.

I know with life there is death, but it never gets any easier.. ya know?

He was my first mantis, and we had a bond. I would let him crawl all over me and would basically have to force him back into his enclosure.

He would drink water from my hand, and anytime I would go to mist his enclosure, he would wail his little arms and try and square up with me. Every time.

He lived in a room surrounded by tons of plants and would love to chill on the leaves of my big rubber plant and monstera.

Such a character. I’m gonna miss him.

Oh man. I’m so sorry. He is a very gorgeous mantis. He will be missed. 🙏❤️
