So I looked after her, as any good host would, feeding her with insects I caught around the house. She laid her Ootheca (egg sack) on the lamp, before dying as is natures way. I left it on the lamp until the next year, when after moving house they hatched and spread out all around the lounge room, so I placed roses covered in aphids in vases and put as many of the little ones I could gather on them. Within a few weeks they'd all moved. Hopefully to a successful life in the vast outdoors.
