[QUOTE="MantidBro, post: 275924, member: 6731"] If you think about the word "care", that is exactly what they are doing. They are caring for it. Protecting it. Even if its instinctual. Basically everything is instinctual, anyways, even with humans. It doesnt make what we, or other animals, do any less meaningful. Mantids do feel some things. Pain. Fear. Hunger. Comfort. When losing a limb, a mantid will constantly clean it. It felt that and it wasnt comfortable. Its tending to the wound due to the discomfort. When an unexpected predator shows up, they become defensive and pose. They're afraid of being eaten. When the sun is shining bright, they make sure they are right under it, because the warmth is comfortable. It's all instinct but all still based on what the mantid feels. [/QUOTE]
