Lately I've been noticing more and more ladybirds coming through my window and into my dorm room. I bought a small container the other day to put them in so I don't have to keep throwing them outside again to "save them."

I get a ladybird every other day usually, and I'm expecting it to continue. Or at least I'm hoping it will continue, I just bought the container after all.

Most ladybirds eat aphids, but some will eat plants and low-acidic fruits. Generally a pretty easy creature to take care of so I'm a little excited to give this a shot. If worst comes to worse and they die on me constantly, I'll go back to my old method and free them into the icey cold of the outdoors.

With all this ladybird nonsense, I've been more and more interested in the praying mantis. So for the past days I've been looking up pictures and wouldn't you know it, Praying Mantises are CUTE when they go OmNomNomNomNom.

Which brings me back to my topic. Why are animals so cute when they eat? Last time I checked, when a human is eating I look away. Every time I see an animal eating I stare creepily and squeal in happiness! Why is that!?

Here's a Praying Mantis eating chicken!
Not eating, but behold! A Praying Mantis attacking it's greatest enemy!

Post some adorable eaters that you've seen!
