I have a ceramic jug of 5% DDT solution, what I love about it is you can pour it out, and the residue left causes nervous failure in most insects pretty much instantly.

I've posted that before :P

So true. And you actually LIVE in Australia.

Anyway, praying mantises are awesome. They're like, the coolest bugs ever.

Your freaking cruel

His freaking cruel what?

One time I was out with my family walking around in an abandoned-rock-quarry-turned-park, and I started climbing a big pile of huge rocks. I neared a patch of overgrowth towards the top, and looked up to see a huge garden spider mere inches from my face. I jumped back and nearly started tumbling down the pile of rocks. The forgeter was five inches long.

THEM PRAYING MANTODAE

Just winging on your region, you were probably hit by the casual and common Mantis Religiosa, the European Mantid.

If it fell from above it was most likely a male. Females (above is a female) cannot fly because their body mass is too large due to their reproductive organs and systems that allow the creation of their egg sack. They do have wings, but use them only for defensive purposes. To appear larger, females bring their forearms up high and flair their wings whilst making an irritating hissing noise.

Now I'm going to take a guess you didn't piss him/her off, since they can give you a nasty pinch with their incredibly strong forearms.

Males, however, can fly, and use special flying tactics to avoid birds and bats. These little bugs are pretty damn awesome.

I hope you don't mind me explaining all this stuff, I used to breed mantises before I got my Gecko. I know Mantis Religiosa from head to toe. :)

Close Google, please.

I thought DDT was illegal or something. It's kind of a foggy memory, but I remember learning about DDT and how the poisoned insects poisoned the animals that it was consumed by, so mammals were poisoned, as were the eagles and other assorted birds of prey that ate the little mammals.

But I guess you use it responsibly enough (ie. not using a crop duster to smother your house in it)

Very true.
