How bizarre. Flight from Rome I could understand - but Switzerland?

I believe it had been in Romania before it was in Switzerland

I believe it had been in Romania before it was in Switzerland

The labels on its suitcase are a dead giveaway.

This thread gets the award for the most unconnected title to OP.

I thought it was about a shit sitcom or one or our resident GBNFOCs moaning about how great 70s tv was because it wasn't woke ;-)


Onto the topic, Mantis are found all across europe with high numbers in France and Italy, I would expect you get some hopping between the countries and the recent hot weather probably means even the snow capped mountaims of Switzerland are very hospitable to them atn

Just staring, shudder hahaha

Ha! Had a similar situation in a shabeen toilet in S Africa.
Had decoupled the vessel from its mooring and was in full flow when I noticed a big one of these on the wall in front staring at me.

Slowed the stream to finish as quietly as I could, then it was like a Mexican stand off from that point...'put the gun away, no sudden moves, we're all just gonna be cool like Fonzie, ok?..."

That's nothing. Imagine being sat on a 35 year old jet2 757 and you're sat next to the window over the front hold, everyone is on board waiting to depart Crete and you notice the hatch for the hold is still open and there are a few men in high viz vests scratching their heads and going in and out the hold. This goes on for about 10mins when suddenly out of the blue a guy appears with a length of rope and disappears into the hold. Cue a bit of noise, a bit of whirring and out he comes, no rope. The door closes with a grinding thump and off we go.

All the flight I kept wondering if that rope will keep the hatch shut.
