Two nights ago, as I just hung up the phone from talking to Jhon and was getting ready for bed when I felt something on my left knee.
As I looked down, I saw an insect, 1 inch in size in the brightest shade of green I have ever seen on an insect in real life.
Naturally, I panicked and tried to swipe it away with my hand. Can you believe I missed the first try because I was afraid of touching it.
I hit it the second time and it landed on my bed where I cover it with my comforter and small pillow for good measure and do what I always do when I encounter bugs in my room.
I called for my mom.
I was lucky she was not yet asleep so she came to my rescue and got rid of it. She took several tissues and caught it to free it at the window.
I didn't know what it was at first, all I knew it looked like a grasshopper but it's not [can't expect to see clearly when you are panicking] until my mom told me it was a praying mantis.
I feel kinda bad the next day because it was just a lost baby praying mantis (in the 7th floor -_-) and it really looked like it was praying for me while it was on my knee.
Some would think it was sent to me with bad intentions (black magic) and some believe that it is a symbol of good luck.
All I know the first thing that comes to my head was "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111"
Insectophobia wins.
I managed to keep myself cool until I laid down on my bed. My body started to itch and I got paranoid on every tickle on my body. I thought I got myself under control with my phobia but I guess not when I started crying while telling Jhon what happened. -_-
