@Kyeh is it terrible when I get annoyed that I can’t fix spelling or grammar mistakes? Autocorrect and I are constantly at war. I type too quickly and it has a right laugh at my expense!
@sillyheathen Actually I’m the one who got it wrong!!! It IS “praying” because of the way it holds its front - feet? But really it’s kind of both, isn’t it. Reminds me of the Walrus and the Carpenter, weeping while they ate all the oysters; this creatures “prays” as it preys! Ooo, there’s a political analogy there …
@Kyeh what’s funny is I didn’t look it up but thought preying makes sense but so does praying because of its stature. My mom has them all over the outside of their house. The babies are insanely tiny but very much the mantis features. It’s kind of insane. I’ll have to see if I got a picture of the baby I saw when I was there in may!
@Kyeh@sillyheathen That’s one of the few things I miss about living in California- we had SO many praying mantis all over the place. And cute little lizards, and gopher snakes… but no trolls.
@Pony@sillyheathen I’ve seen a tiny one once in a while, I think because people buy them for their gardens. It IS so cool that they’re already perfect when they’re only a quarter of an inch long!
Gelatinous cube FTW!

@yakkoTDI Oh Giphy you are so wrong but so right at the same time.
Now I want to dress like a troll for Halloween.
@Kyeh I was going to be a praying mantis and make the Englishman go with no head but methinks I need to rethink my costume. #trollsunite!
@sillyheathen Well, the preying mantis is a pretty phenomenal idea - that’s hilarious!

@Kyeh @Pony @sillyheathen Wait, trolls or mantises?
@ircon96 @Kyeh @sillyheathen
/giphy why not both
@ircon96 @Pony @sillyheathen
Hah - I haven’t seen any teensy trolls yet, but I would definitely like to!
