    I was just looking at my tank and my mantis (i really need to think of a name..) was looking out of its (i really need to find out if it's male or female...) den at a swaying bush of GHA. It ran out and grabbed the clump and started smacking at the base to cut it off then pulled it all back in it's den. It rummaged around in there for a little bit and then came out 3 more times for the rest. All the GHA is gone! He/She must have known that that specific clump had been aggravating me and I that I was too lazy to reach in there and pull it off.

    Just thought I'd share

    It would be cool to have a camera in the den to see what it is up to.
