I’m totally over the moon, guys! I just heard back from Dr. Gil Grissom, our country’s preeminent forensic entomologist. Here’s his letter:
Dear Ms. Elementalv:Did you see that? Proof positive that the she-mantis exists. I mean, sure, he had to *claim* that she doesn’t, but that’s just because he works so near Area 51 that all his communications are monitored. All you have to do is read between the lines to see confirmation.
I received your letter of the 20th, as well as your letters of the 18th, 17th, 14th, 13th and the two you wrote on the 12th. Please let me assure you that there is no such insect as the “she-mantis” you described to me. Even if there were, it’s doubtful that she would restrict herself to virgin males, even in this day and age of disease.
At this time, I must respectfully request that you stop writing to me. If you don’t, I will be forced to obtain a restraining order.
