Praying mantis encounters during pregnancy

[MantisMom]

Hey everyone! I've got a little story to share and would love to hear your thoughts. For as long as I can remember, I've been totally fascinated by Praying Mantises. They're just so cool, right? But something super strange happened during my pregnancy – these critters seemed to find me irresistible!

Seriously, it was wild. I could barely step outside without a mantis landing on me. And I'm not talking about once or twice; I'm talking multiple times a day! It felt like they were somehow drawn to me, which was both awesome and slightly weird.

Here's where it gets even more interesting. After I gave birth, the mantis parade kinda slowed down. They still pop by occasionally, but nothing like during that crazy pregnancy phase.

Now I've got this burning question: what in the world was going on? Is there some mysterious connection between being pregnant and attracting these little green guys? Or was it just some random coincidence that I'll never understand?

And oh boy, you should have seen my husband every time one of those mantises made a visit. He'd freak out every single time, and we'd end up having a good laugh about it later.

So, what's your take on this mystery? Anyone else had similar run-ins with nature's curious creatures during big life changes? I'd love to hear your stories or theories!

Oh, the praying mantis! Such a fascinating creature, right? In many cultures, she’s a symbol of female power, fiercely embracing her strength in nature. The way the female mantis consumes her mate—it’s a wild reminder of how powerful femininity can be!

The name "mantis" means "prophet" in Greek. How lovely and spiritual that feels!

In meditation, she represents calmness and balance. I can’t help but think of how important stillness is during life’s transitions. Isn’t nature just magical?

Have you ever thought about praying mantises? Some say they could actually symbolize an extraterrestrial race! How wild is that? There’s this idea floating around that if you’re feeling connected to them, you might be a "starseed," which could even relate to experiences like pregnancy. Maybe it’s all about new starseed beings getting ready to join us!

There are reports of various alien races that can take on human form too. Ever heard of the Pleiadians, Orions, or the Lyrians? They’re all interesting, but the Praying Mantis race—or tall grays—definitely stands out!

These beings are said to have some unique physical traits, and the thought of them walking among us really makes you wonder, doesn’t it? What do you all think?
