Nigel's travels

Instead of hanging out on the ficus all day yesterday, Nigel decided to travel the 10 feet back to the land of mint and nasturtiums on her own. When we couldn't find her on the ficus, we whipped out the flashlights and searched, thinking wouldn't it just figure that she'd disappear after finally starting her blog!

day 2 post egg-laying

Today Nigella is spending time on the ficus tree, since Walt is hanging out and getting fat on the moth-infested mint. I wonder if Nigella will breed and lay more eggs if she gets nice and fat again?

eggs!

Check it out, look who laid eggs! Nigel is officially Nigella, at least as far as gender is concerned. She is already so much smaller and less swollen. As I told my friend, she wasn't fat, just full of eggs!

Here she is admiring her handiwork.
