Great fun with a local Cubs group last evening who all were massive Deadly 60 fans and on their sleep over in a village hall. Took some Mantis with me and made sure the Giant Asians were slightly hungry. The boys put the flies in and watched them meet their maker. They were so enthralled and wanted to know all about all the 'nasties' like parasitic wasps etc. What is it about boys? We did have a truly fabulous time though and the tucker was not half bad. Got a phone call from the leader today who told me they would not settle down to sleep and were beginning to get on the adults nerves so they hatched a cunning plan to get their own back. They pretended I was on the phone and was worried because I could not find one of my Spiny Devils, Eurycantha coriacea, and had anyone seen it? He said they made out they were not unduly concerned but he did notice they slept closer together than usual!
