[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 334120, member: 1492"] For small nymphs you can get something like a light plain colored towel/blanket to set on the floor and sit there for handling. It makes it easier to keep track of the nymph if they decide to jump. As mantises get older they calm down considerably and tend to be rather fun to handle. Girls typically get too heavy to do more than flutter hop as adults. While boys can fly far, they are typically pretty easy to keep track of indoors as long as you keep an eye on them while they are out. Mantises will gravitate toward light so if you do loose one you can often find them again by checking light sources/windows and other high places as they also like to crawl up. Usually when you hear about people loosing mantises indoors it isn't because the mantis was actively trying to get away from them but that they set it down somewhere to hang out and the mantis decided to wander off when they weren't looking.
