Thats so cool. What insect is it eating?

 

[mark thorpe]

Locust...

heres one pre squishing:

shes got a really good aim too, the adults fly, and she managed to catch one mid air as it flew past her nose... that was a great catch!

i've never heard or seen of one of those in my life. Are those type of creatures in North America?

 

[mark thorpe]

Nope, they are banned in america because they have the ability to swarm, and once a swarm starts, their very difficult to kill off, their allowed in england because the weather here is rubbish, and they wouldnt survive long enough to create a swarm... their basiclly the same as grasshoppers, but a bit bigger, and they swarm.

They look really cool though I want a lizard, but my parents wont allow me to get one

They take alot of care, and are pretty expensive too, im spending about £10 a week just on food for her... and this is when shes an adult, and eating less...
