Joanna Gaines isn’t the only one that wants a praying mantis pet. Several other fans shared they have some they keep up with too.

• “So funny found one yesterday that had just molted, still connected to left back foot. Not so sure doing great today, but better. Made it a little leaf nest in my butterfly bush to hang as it were…they really look you in the eye and this one loved my warm hand on a chilly evening. He’s a boy! Molting late for some reason…?”
• “I had one living in my rose bush all summer! I named it Dudley! When I would go out to water, he would poke his head up and say hi! Praying mantis are known to be a blessing or a loved one is watching over you! My husband says I’m cookoo! 🤪 oh well, what if I am? It made me happy! 😃.”
