Part VI: Playing with the Praying Mantis of Bugs

The big green praying mantis is also my favorite plaything with Xiaodong, and we usually call him the big knife mantis.

After school, the two went straight to the mountain, through the woods, stopped in front of a large area of sour jujube bushes, first found green sour dates to pick a handful and put it in their pockets, chewing while spitting cores, eyes are not idle in the green jujube bushes, Xiaodong seems to slow down, gestured at me, I understood that he found prey, slowly leaned towards him.

Blinked countless big eyes only to find a big knife mantis that grew in the green jujube bush like a branch, he crawled motionless in the branches, the green protective color of the same as the jujube bush on his body was too difficult to distinguish with, Xiaodong's eyes were more than 1.5 points better than me, so he had a pair of toothed big knives, if he clamped and twisted again, those little bugs would definitely be divided.

Xiao Dong got a handkerchief wrapped around his hand and gently pasted it, squeezed his long neck with his hand, grabbed him from the jujube branch that was firmly hooked, and threw him in the plastic bag I had prepared in advance.

On the way home between the two, they looked for a few spiders, small moths, put him in the corridor, put food in front of him, spider moths, he first stood still, green eyes stared at the prey, and then suddenly stretched out the big knife, took the knife back, clamped the wriggling and struggling moth under the knife teeth, and when the moth was almost dead, he didn't stretch out his legs and kick it, and put the moth in his mouth and chewed it.

This big knife mantis made Xiaodong's hand painful several times, once offended Xiaodong's fierce brother was trampled to death, Xiaodong cried with me for a long time, and then the two went up the mountain again.
