[QUOTE="tangerine17, post: 272936, member: 6755"] I caught a praying mantis about two weeks ago and have kept it happily fed indoors. It is a pretty decent size and also quite active. If I offer my hand inside its cage to climb on it will quickly come over and go up, but it always starts getting it's mandibles out and gently ... nibbles(?) on me. I'm not sure if it is actually trying to bite me or if it is kind of licking off whatever sweat/etc might be on my hand or what. Anyone else have a mantis that does this? I'm not willing to have it on me too long because I'm a bit scared it will actually bite down hard and I don't want to hurt it trying to get it off me. [/QUOTE]
