Jauzi arrived and looking like Hatchet

Jauzi, the green mantis from Maryland, arrived today at around 11:53.
seemed a little shocked at first, I mean Jauzi was scared of a cricket -_-
which I took out. let the fly and he ate it later after I left. It's quite easy to get him to look where I want, just move a finger, and he'll turn and look at it.
This is probably due to the fact he's a bit wary of me, don't blame him though.

First I ruffle where he lived, then I chased him, put him in a box, though did feed him, took him out of the box, then put him back, then when we set off a flea bomb in the house, I left him in there for around a minute, "oopies" (best way I can describe how silly it was to forget him in there), then I leave him to these crazy people who stuff him in a box, in which he gets bumped around, and when it's opened, who else is the one he sees.

I think the first time I had him look directly at me, I could just feel what he was saying, "you left me with those Crazy people!!! How could you!" I also think he was giving me an "-_-" as well

Jauzi means jump in another language. If I had not already named him, I probably would've named him Axe or something along those lines (hatchet was already used). He has the "Hatchet Condition"
as I'm calling it. This means his right antennea is noticably shorter then his left, just like Hatchet's was. I think it's harder to get a shot of a green mantis then a brown one. Not sure how I'm going to go forward, with that in mind. we lost the scrimmage we had today.
