Her favorite place to hang out was on my shoulder, but if I was holding still she always perched atop a microscope near my desk. She loved to snack on sugar water and to have her carapace stroked. At the end of each day I would place her back on the bush outside my door.
Alas, after 3 months I had to go to Thailand for 3 weeks. When I returned she was gone and I never saw her again.

Never knew that a praying mantis could be such a friendly pet.
