RDP Tuesday! Pet!

Not sure if this counts for a pet, but this is what I had on a few occasions as my pet and they unfortunately passed away just a few weeks ago. In response to RDP Tuesday Pet prompt.

The below is a stick insect Eurycantha Calcarata and our girls lived for 1.5 years. It was amazing to see them hatching from their eggs, grow, shed and grow again 🙂 It was quite painful for me seeing them to go, as I know when they journey ends, they start being paralyzed from head down, not even able to eat their favourite rose leaf. They now sleep under our rose in the garden.

The Weekly Photo Challenges: Victory

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Victory.”

There are a lot of Victories in our personal lives, in lives of our families, friends and pets.

Years back I kept some rare bugs and though this should be a post about my Victory, for me and most important for these bugs it was always a Victory when they could successfully slough off their skin. It is very important for them, to may grow and developing, same as the snakes. Maybe you will say “it is only an ugly bug – a monster”.

Well, people they keep bugs as pets and especially rare ones can understand it. I saw few of them when they couldn’t hang properly on the branch or cage and they couldn’t slough off their skin. They suffered and died. Or they could slough off their skin but not properly and lost a leg.

I am a nature lover and for me it was always a Victory when these bugs could “change their coat” properly and it didn’t change their attitude. 

Can we humans follow them?
