[QUOTE="MantidBro, post: 275930, member: 6731"] I think some invertebrates don't feel pain. Like if I beetle is to loose a leg, it doesn't really seem to care. But a mantid is different. Back when I was less experienced, when I first got into the mantid-owning, one of my mantid's legs was ready to fall off. I'd pulled on it, thinking it wouldn't hurt. But some guts came out of the leg (I wasn't exactly bright at the point) and the mantid struck me, then kept grabbing the remaining bit of leg and cleaning the end of it. She definitely felt it and it did not feel good. If you ask me, mantids are extremely sensitive. They feel miniscule bits of dust on their feet. If they can feel a piece of dust, they can feel pain.
