| if you get one when they're really young and raise them right, they make wonderful pets. All they need is a little water and a few small bugs to feed them. You can crochet teeny little jackets for them and booties too for when it rains. They're hard to litter box train tho. |

| whatever you do, don't smoosh them. they are wonderful bugs for the habitat. they eat aphids, flies, etc. They can grow to be pretty big. When I worked downtown, I saw one that had wings. It was huge! So I caught it, put it in a box and brought it home and released it. I didn't want it to get run over. |
