Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    Just mowed the grass and picked up a passenger in the process. It was a small green NZ Praying Mantis who I felt crawling around in the crook of my arm. Didn’t want to harm it, so left it there crawling around while I kept on mowing. Eventually it departed before I’d finished, but when I came indoors I discovered the little monkey had bitten me a number of times which was becoming sore. Didn’t feel it when I was working.

      I didn’t realise they bite! Though I guess it makes sense.

      I just did a search and apparently they bite but it’s rare because they have big eyes and can clearly see you aren’t prey. Well, maybe you look like prey?

        I didn’t know they would do that either, it wasn’t that I felt it happening at the time, only afterwards.

            I think you’re right, the marks are like tiny pin pricks, and given it was on my arm for a while, I ended up with lots of them. Good observation, thanks.

                Still very sore this am, put antiseptic cream on before bed as well. It’ll be OK, know to put the little fellow on a plant if it happens again ¯_(ツ)_/¯
