Praying Mantis (that was eating Noe!!!!)

We went to Lowes to get a couple of pots - one for Marlon and one to enable a bunch of transfers. While we were looking around, we saw a bunch of anoles and this guy -

 

 I picked it up (as the kids were worried about getting speared) and it was pretty docile. Then Noe wanted to hold it - and it rapidly started to gnaw on her... Marlon held it and nothing - docile, and even wanted to get away. Noe held it again and chew - chew - chew...

 

 Noe must be made of tasty stuff - like crickets!!!!
