Mantis Friend!

[said_scarlett]

So, since Mantis Friend was still hanging around the door this morning, and didn't leave all day, we decided if he wanted to live with us that damn badly, he could. So we set up a nice terrarium for him and ushered him into it. He doesn't at all care about humans - he spent some time just chilling on my shoulder last night - and was very easily coaxed into captivity.

Now he's exploring his new home, in between cleaning himself and staring at us.

But! Mantis Friend needs a proper name! He is, admittedly, not the brightest of bulbs. We discovered him repeatedly attempting to climb onto a hot lightbulb. He'd touch it, jerk back and lick his little foot, then touch it again. So we have a selection of names, and I turn to you, Oh El Jay Land, to aide us in naming our little friend.

[Poll #1262455]

Zorak, of course, for Zorak of Space Ghost fame. Rusty for Dr. Thaddeus 'Rusty' Venture, and Matsuda for Touta Matsuda of Death Note. (Can you tell we're Adult Swim junkies?)

Definitely Zorak. I couldn't begin to think of a better name.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Zorak definitely seems to be a popular vote!

[miltia.livejournal.com]

Matsuda would be amusing, but I've just gotta vote Zorak. ♥ It's way too fitting for a mantis.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Zorak definitely seems to be the leader! :D

I'm sorry, I had to vote Matsuda. Matsuda=adorable, mantises=adorable, I want to keep both as pets... XD

But whatever Mantis Friend is named, I want to hear all about him. *Loves mantises* :D

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Matsuda is adorable! And so is Mantis Friend! He settled in very well, and is now eying his luncheon of cricket while grooming himself. :D

Awwwwwww~ <3 *dies from the cuteness*

That is very funny and cute. For some reason I picked Rusty, but they're all good names.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

He's getting on wonderfully in his little terrarium, too! :D

Zorak once rocked all of space alongside Boston. I can't vote against that.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's been dubbed Zorak. :D

[blind-nights.livejournal.com]

that. sounds. so. cute.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

He's oddly adorable for an alien looking giant bug!

I gotta vote for Zorak as well, also cause Rusty's my brother's name and that's just amusing.

[theladyfeylene.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's totally Zorak now.

Mantises are pretty cool. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantis) I hope your job mojo turns good, and the house, too!

He's a very cool little guy. Thank you!
