What was your most unusual pet?

When I was a kid, I had a friend who kept one. It was quite big, easily 6 inches from head to tail. One day, when I was already an adult, I found a praying mantis over my kitchen sink. It was a young one about three inches long. I couldn't quite figure out what to feed it. It stayed around the kitchen sink for about a week. Then one day, it wasn't there any more. Probably it just went back home to the trees outside my kitchen.

Wow! I am probably so behind on this but when I saw your post I was very intrigued. I have never even heard of this species before. Is this like a more evolved grasshopper? (haha). I will definitely be doing my research. You mentioned he stayed around your kitchen sink for a week, I would probably not come close to it..haha.
