loretta eats a caterpillar
July 12, 2005
Or what’s left of it. She wasn’t too keen at first, but got into it with remarkable efficiency. Yes, that is a napkin underneath, but I made the mess trying to spear the caterpillar, which had been eating my purple petunias about a minute ago.
Loretta lost part of a leg, and cannot balance well, making it very difficult to go after food, although she still strikes at it. I impale the item, and she takes it from there. Mantises regenerate limbs, except for the front two, so we have high hopes.
