New Girl needs a name

[Thurge]

I just purchased a new friend. She is a 2.5 inch golden yellow P.ciliata that seems to be acclimating quite nicely to her new home. She is currenty in the process of renovating the tank, building her home under the LR, meeting the neighbors, enjoying the local cuisine, that sort of thing. The only thing is she is a nameless killer. I need some help naming her and would like some suggestions. Typically I like to either come up with names that either fit the animal (example; Hairy for the Hair Algae mowhawk he had when I got him) or from Mythology (my N.wennera was Mjollnir after Thor's hammer). Any suggestions are appreciated. So far all I have is Beatrix, after Uma Thurman in Kill Bill.

Ps Pictuers are to come, my Girlfriends son has had my laptop for the last couple days, but I should get it back after work.

Minerva is pretty cool, and I grew up on Sierra cir. So those are both good candidates, thanks.

I think she looks great.

That rock up high in the middle looks like its just about ready to fall, how securely is it in place?

Oh, how about Giallo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giallo ? Mantids are rather mysterious.

I just got a cilita not to long ago. They are a great mantis, I like watching mine pike chromis and camel shrimp

Giallo is pretty cool, I may have to pick up a few on the novels mentioned in that article.
Thanks for the concern about the rock work. I probably spent an hour playing with the rocks in different configurations and as it's situated it's pretty stable. The rock is well supported and then pinned in place with the rock on top of it on the right.
