Pips' musings

Good Luck

Found this little guy crawling on my shoulder earlier. He was the size of my little finger nail. I named him "Little Green"

In Gambia a Praying Mantis is a very lucky animal. It is also known as "Muhammed's horse". (Muhammed as in the prophet, Gambia is a Muslim country) If a "Muhammed's horse" climbs on you it is thought to be good luck and that something good will happen to you very soon. They will never harm these little creatures but instead let them run in their hands for a while before returning them to a tree or onto someone else!
