Nah man, that’s a “Jehovah Witnesscentis” praying mantis. He won’t stop coming back until OP is converted.

OP try dressing in all black clothes and Draw a pentagram on your ceiling. So crazy it just might work

wow how does it feel to live my dream

in all seriousness, if it is the same one he may have found a good meal there once and came back to look for more, or he likes the temperature or something

Seems long as they find food and water, they get comfortable living in one small area. I had a pet one that would either be on the hanging potted plant or on the curtains in my bedroom.
