Imagine my suprise to find this fugitive!
Apparently, our friend Beethoven fails to see the humor in this.

Beethoven does look very angry!

Beethoven just seems to be turning a deaf ear (... sorry, dreadful joke, but couldn't resist!)

This is too funny!! I'm glad it was just the mantis!

Beethoven is such a stick in the mud.
How long have you had that mantis as a pet, Alice?

For a couple of months now. Mantises always die in the Autumn, so this one is on its last stilty legs. It seems surprisingly spry and healthy though--must be all the roast chicken and steak they feed it (not to mention live crickets and shield beetles).
