This Larger Florida Mantis (Stagmomantis floridensis) molted, and somehow lost its head in the process! I dug around the entire enclosure looking for it, but with no success. The mantis wasn't bleeding or anything, but even more bizarre was the fact that the mantis could walk and jump perfectly fine without a head. It did eventually die, since long term survival was impossible since it had no way to eat.

So while cleaning up at my church, I noticed a turtle, which I believe was a Yellowbelly Slider Turtle (Trachemys scripta scripta) that had been hit by a car. The whole front half of the turtle was missing, so I couldn't tell for sure what species it was. I went to move the turtle out of view, and a bunch of eggs fell out of it, nine of which were undamaged. I took the eggs back home, and after doing some research and consulting my friend Joseph Finley of Valhalla Exotics, made a little incubator out of some stuff from Walmart. I'm not sure if the eggs are going to even hatch, but I will continue to update you on how they are doing!

The Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a large, colorful species of butterfly whose caterpillars feed exclusively on Milkweed plants. The use of pesticides and the destruction of Milkweed fields in order to build houses and buildings has caused Monarch populations to decline steadily in the last few decades, and as of July 2022 they are now on the IUCN Red List, classifying them as an endangered species.
