I've never seen a six-inch praying mantis, though! That would be pretty startling, I would think. Some bugs that we actually wish were bigger are the pesky mosquitoes we have in our house. They're so tiny that we have a terrible time trying to find them and slap them. So they just keep biting us all the time. They especially like my mother, who is starting to go bananas and has taken to wrapping her legs in a bedsheet when she's sitting at the table! She looks a little like a Hindu, but it sure foils the mosquitoes!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178794884945647000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10733344.post-1123857192070530442005-08-12T07:33:00.000-07:002005-08-12T07:33:00.000-07:00Hi Katie! : ) We have been amazed at the bugs here...Hi Katie! : ) <BR/><BR/>We have been amazed at the bugs here in Missouri--the don't compare with CA's miniscule sized insects. Just last night we saw a praying mantis that was probably 6 inches long. We've seen one too in TX around that size--in CA it would have been 1 inch. : )<BR/><BR/>RebeccaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
