Christian's New Pet

Well, we got a second pet on Saturday but it didn't last long. We have had a big problem with our hedges being invested with spiderwebs. So, Steve went on got this solution from Home Depot that you attach to your water hose and spray down the hedges. As he was spraying them down, he noticed a preying mantis and called for Christian. Well, of course, Christian wanted to keep it. So, they brought him inside and Steve actually went out and got a little glass aquarium with rocks and plants in it for him and put the preying mantis in there. Christian even found a few bugs around the house for him to eat. If anyone knows Christian, they would know that this is a major big deal. Christian absolutely hates bugs (but he made Steve carry them to the mantis). Unfortunately (we believe) that Steve accidentally sprayed him with the strong solution he bought (called Seven) and the next morning when Christian went to check on him, he was dead. He wants to look for more preying mantis now to keep them as a pet. Here is a picture.
