blodwen time! this is a video of an orchid mantis with a bunch of facts about her and the species in general. she jumps toward the camera at one point, and the captions warn beforehand. mostly she just stands around and walks a little bit.

[image ID: blodwen morgause, the orchid mantis. she is almost entirely white, with pink on her legs where they connect to her body and striation on her abdomen. she is probably male but that's how it goes sometimes. end ID]
if you or someone you love has been told that blodwen is good at hand feeding, DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!! this is a propagandist LIE manufactured by the pro blodwenist camp to sell more blodwens!!
she is actually terrible at it and is a very small menace who wastes hours of my life every time i feed her and it gives me headaches! be wary, buyers!
